Hobbes has found some more... oddly coincidential real-life news! Check out this quote from a recent article at Space.Com.

"Work done by Gerard O'Neill and teams of students to build a mass driver -- an electromagnetic accelerator -- is soon to be reactivated, said Valentine. Several versions of a mass driver were pursued in years past -- a concept originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, under the direction of Henry Kolm and O'Neill."
