They wouldn't have gotten the same investor money if they started with this concept, though. They got money to be SpinLaunch, so this is a pivot and a bit of a bait and switch for investors. Kind of like Relativity getting a $billion+ in investments for 3d printed rockets, then turning into Ariane.
