Mass Drivers. Don’t put your eye out, kid

Summer camps are so much fun! We get asked every year if we can give away free Mass Drivers, and we have to say:

“Sorry, no. Ours would be really dangerous. *BUT* you can have the kids make their own Mass Drivers. That will be more fun… and a very good teaching example too.”

At this SSI website page is an easy step by step instruction guide… and more: https://ssi.org/ssi-supermodels-part-2-make-your-own-ssi-mass-driver/


Ya know… there’s a flamboyant rocket guy who’s been using the Gerard K. O’Neill term “Mass Driver” when he shows his AI generated cartoon of a lunar catapult. It’s neato – pew pew pew!

But we think that seeing real, actual Mass Drivers made by real actual people is pretty cool too. Don’t you?
