So what Crim would like and what would probably be built according to LG is a Canon to get stuff into space. It satisfies what would best fit into the lore as well as what would work.

Maybe when we get to the really advanced stage we could just have a huge and powerful cannon firing something on a magnetic railing which accelerates it and then explosive charges take over? And if we are going with explosive, you might want to look up.
