    Could we launch resources from the moon with electromagnetic railguns?

    I see your point. I was thinking to supply Earth or an earth orbital station with material. Also note there would need to be a Moon orbital station for manufacturing, so an intercept could negate the need for thrusters. Possibly the intercept would also provide delta momentum for the orbital...

    Enough velocity and the right vectoring and the object will proceed into Earth's gravity well, and it's a N-body problem anyway, not just the Moon and object.

    Could we launch resources from the moon with electromagnetic railguns?

    Also visit SpinLaunch. This seems to me as the most viable alternative with small form factor, repeatable launching, and sizeable payloads. They've already achieved 1600 km/h in early tests, and target 5 times that. We have this capability. My question is whether this too will weaponize. As...
