NASA proposes the ScramJet Rail Gun to launch Spacecrafts
remember the launch pads used on the gundams? those are some good examples of what they're gonna be doing.

They already have cool "accelerators" on aircraft carriers. Instead of using a really powerful piston, they are gonna use a railgun! Hoorah for magnets!

Actually you can never reach the speed of light with constant 1g acceleration, because the slowing down of time for you, which means you would get closer and closer to light speed, but never quite get there.
And if you should somehow ever get to the speed of light, then you would be stuck there forever, since you would be in a permanent stasis, forever frozen, going at the speed of light forever. Photons actually have an extremely short life span, but because they are moving at the speed of light, they last forever.

That's scary.

Is that even scientifically possible?
