Coasters/Nasa/Space

I remeber one time I was watching TV and it had to do with coasters and space. It showed development images of a huge LIM coaster that would propel a car up a tower, like Superman, but then the tower ended and rockets took over to propel the spacecraft. They did this to lower the amount of fuel used. They could also reeuse the spacecrafts that used this system. The system looked really cool. We know that they could probably make something in the 200 mph + range because of Astronauts's special training. I'm sure Intamin would love to take a job like this and collaborate with NASA. Did anybody else see this? My second question is coasters in space. Does anybody think in like 25-100 years we will see coasters somewhere else then Earth?? I mean in the way distant future when multiple planet civilization is common, do you think coasters could make it somewhere else. Different types of gravity could make for some pretty insane heights adn inversions. Just some random thoughts, but you never know!!!!!

DOWN WITH TRIM BRAKES!

What you saw might have been Venture Star - the new prototype spacecraft to replace the Space Shuttle. Sadly, if this is it, it has nothing to do with coasters, apart from that launch. The vehicle is triangular in shape - is this what you saw?

Craig, I saw that special as well. There was a computer animation of a LIM type launch of cargo being launched off the moon. Current LIM technology is almost (or possibly IS) good enough to have something escape the moon's gravity, but not Earth's.

Gotta ride 'em all!

This doesn't really have to do with coasters in space but I heard that the military is testing the LIM launch method on their new aircraft carriers to replace the steam catapults that they use now. Has anyone else heard about anything like this?

Well at least I am not the only one that saw this.
