Its important that you have as large a cow as possible for your catapult.

the French have been firing cows across the channel for years .

I can't upvote, as while the commercial is brilliant, and the way they made it is fascinating, the host IS A DICK.
Bloody hell, gush more why don't you? Pretend like you know what they're talking about (Catapult? Really, you actually thought they meant a catapult... idiot)... I couldn't watch it to the end thanks to his insanely annoying presence.

If I could downvote you I would. Leo Laporte is a wonderful man. Good old TechTV FTW


Leo LaPorte is a douchebag

He may be a wonderful man, but he is incredibly painful to listen to in this piece, he is atrociously gushing and misses the point they're making on a number of occasions... it's just a terrible piece.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The problem with a catapult is that it has to get all of its acceleration for escaping the Earth's atmosphere while it's on a track. Unless the track is really, really long - that means incredible G forces that would be hard on soft tissue.

I'm hanging out for the elevator. Come on Google- use some of your billions.

It's still an inefficient means of achieving escape velocity.
Something like this would be a whole lot better for the environment and cost-effective in the long run.

I know its crazy and kinda sick, but I would like to see em when they are all standing there big and smug in their stupid umpire uniforms.

Then some dudes roll up with a catapult and launch a dead cow at them! Splatter!

Then the infantry moves in with pikes and shields. The cavalry roles up from the left flank and a hail of arrows comes down on them from the right flank!

Mean while back in reality some protester is getting his ass beat down behind a wall of dipshits in shinguards.

And what happens if you leave your favourite windowbox on the balcony when you close it? It very slowly catapults your best flower display into your living room. Of course you can have a bit of an Austin Powers moment when you realise what is happening "Noooooooooooooooooooooo...ooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

She sounds orgasmic on that catapult launch. I know it's sexist but I thought it was kinda hot.

Looking at that amazing canyon swing, I couldn't help but think about what it would look like if it was designed by NASA. You know, calculate the length of the rope in feet, then use meters when measuring it in.

That said, looks like hella fun. Need one like that at a lake, so you can use a quick-release on your harness and catapult yourself into the wide blue yonder.
