The Science Behind Building a Space Gun

An anonymous reader writes "Astronomer and gamer Scott Manley (more famous for his Kerbal Space program coverage) has created a fantastic video explaining the science behind building guns that could one day be used to launch payloads into space. It's not as easy as simply making a bigger gun, there's a whole host of unorthodox 'gun' designs which work around the limitations of garden variety propellants."

Oh Scott Manley. I wish you had gotten your PhD. Dr. Manly would be pretty much the best name ever. You could say you have a PhD in Manlyness.
