Cast
gollark: On Minmus I just gave it some long landing legs.
gollark: It would probably recoil itself against the ground.
gollark: Given the low gravity it would be safe, if annoying, to just raise it a bit during the launch. Except possibly the mass driver recoil would cause problems.
gollark: I suppose, just adding more reaction wheels and RCS to it would have worked.
gollark: The great thing about the Minmus (Minmic? Minmian?) mass driver system is that, being on a surface station, it is completely impossible to aim except by waiting for the planet to spin.
