Anything like this should be assumed to be launching bulk payloads or hardened payloads. For machines 10's of g's is not that big a deal. It's challenging, but quite doable. For lots of kinds of bulk cargo, it's not a big deal.

Yeah, I'm sure certain restricted types of cargo may be launched this way. We will still need rockets for the vast majority of cargo types.
