About

China isn’t building a launch system. It’s building a weaponized railgun to orbit. In this opening episode of Index Red: Orbital Supremacy, we break down the shocking reality behind China’s Galactic Energy maglev rail launch system—and why it’s not the SpaceX competitor you’re being sold, but a military-civil fusion project designed for first-strike orbital dominance. We dissect the tech:Superconducting maglev rocket sledsGrid-fed gigajoule burstsSMES-powered launch weaponsFirst-stage engine elimination for rapid orbital payloadsThen we follow the trail:Why the CCP-backed CASCIC (China’s defense conglomerate) is helping build itHow launchpads are becoming the new military basesAnd why Xi’s “commercial” innovation is quietly outpacing American defense contractors.This is not a sci-fi concept. This is real hardware. Operational by 2028.And the countdown’s already over. Watch until the end to see why America is not prepared.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aftershow-carnage--5635545/support.
