Innovations in Projectile Motion and Space Weaponry

This chapter explores advanced concepts in projectile motion, focusing on a novel method to enhance velocity using a long wedge and gas interactions. It reflects on historical innovations in ballistic technology, particularly during World War II, and transitions to discussions about post-war rocket technology competition between the U.S. and Russia. The narrative also includes insights into Gerald Bull's controversial projects and a hypothetical ground-based space gun approach to revolutionize space travel.
