Well I have a question , if we would already have the device that uses electromagnetic force to propel a capsule or whatever object like a satellite into space , now unlike a rocket this device would propel the object needed to carry to space in one certain direction at a given angle , now once you do that and the object has achieved the speed needed to fly up into space and overcome Earth's gravity , how do you then manage the trajectory or the path where the object needs to go ?
because as much as I understand propelling something in a linear fashion using electromagnetic force makes the object travel at straight line if no other force is acting on it.So I guess the object that would be propelled this way to space would still need some other drive system which would then once it has reached outer space direct it to the exact place it needs to be ?
