Research Side Trip

My Google dragnet recently scooped up this discussion on the Physics Forums: Space freighters.

It's a lively debate on how planet-to-planet--and more specifically planet-to-orbit--space freighting might be accomplished. I found it full of ideas for the SFR writer.

Magnetic accelerator launch rails?

Mass vs. fuel?

Earth to space tugs?

Yes, worth a quick look.
