I'd hoped so too, at first, but since this is just to build a non-orbital mid-scale demonstration, I figure building this one doesn't ensure that the orbital one will get built, and thus they couldn't guarantee that a full-size slingatron would ever exist to deliver the promised launch. Would've been nice, though. They'll probably offer that if they kickstarter the first orbit-capable one.

I was hoping the $10K slot would get you a tiny payload of your choice flung into space.

Still trying to get rid of all those old CRT monitors out in the storage shed?
