Starcloud isn't even worth the attention to point out what an infeasible idea it is.

Maybe SpinLaunch can get it up there. And the power for the SpinLaunch motor can come from Solar Roadways.

There was a video from Scott Manley about this several years back. And he was very skeptical that it's even feasible for SpinLaunch to place something useful into orbit. And they haven't yet.

I am a big Manley fan, but I don't understand that. Fuel, oxidizers, and water can all likely withstand 10,000 G loads, and are quite useful in orbit. Also, IIRC correctly one big factor regarding SpinLaunch's G load is that it builds slowly.
