Electromagnetic Fields Has a Mean to Launch Spaceships at Reduced Costs and Faster Pace
This idea is actually old and a similar concept is being studied by NASA, but the NASA approach to this technology implementation is to use it only has an initial propulsion system, not using this concept to fully support a complete launch relying on a mixed approach that starts by accelerating the vehicles magnetically and then implement a conventional rocket propulsion to achieve the final escape velocity and reaching space.
Other proposal based on this technology exists and consists of a circular magnetic propulsion system that can only be used for cargo lift, and the cargo itself must be able to sustain high G centripetal acceleration forces, thus disabling this approach to be able to launch manned missions and more sensitive types of cargo.
