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.
gollark: It launched a very small (probe core + antenna + solar panels) communications satellite out of the system at 32km/s.
gollark: I had a kind of unstable ground station with all of the Simple Construction shipbuilding equipment and a stack of mass drivers.
gollark: Minmus was good, since I could ship a big mass driver to it too.
gollark: Not very well, everything ends up floating around unstably.
