Could something like this power a massive object towards an Aldrin Cycler type trajectory? It appears so, in theory. The trick would be to overcome resistance to the idea. Alas, such a trick would impress the likes of a Houdini.
Anyway, if it could put that much mass into orbit from the ground, it could certainly get something larger to a destination requiring much less delta-v. If it were deployed from the far side of the moon at the La Grange point, the delta-v would be even less, and no hazard to Earth.
This should be on the other blog as it is getting speculative... but what the heck?
