Makes sense as well. So the projectiles they throw not only have to be able to withstand the launch and release the payload, but they also have to be functioning rockets to allow for a circulation burn...
Well good luck to them.
Edit: I think I had that animation in mind where the canon shoots a canon-ball into a circular orbit (don't remember where I saw it), but I guess that's impossible, too, then. >.<
Works on a moon w no atmosphere, not on Earth.
Just build a tower taller than the atmosphere, now you don't need rockets because you have a space elevator.
