Currently, their profits come from their use of the phenomenal physical properties of a time-stopped segment of space-time to build rockets. But now, they're building their space tower. Taking off at a 30-degree angle from Eastern Virginia, it's 200 kilometers long and 100 kilometers high. By placing the interior of their spacecraft—and its passengers—in stasis, they can accelerate launches at 15 gravities, reaching orbital speeds before the craft leaves the rail. This lets them put payloads in orbit for a thousand times lower cost than a rocket. The world, and some unscrupulous people, are turning to Kaem and his company to further our exploitation of orbital space.
