Forget about launching people or anything squishy or delicate. You'd still get a lot of use out of things that could survive 1000g. That would let you launch things into orbit with an accelerator only 4 miles long. Launching refueling stations or LEO->GEO tugs would be useful. How about rolled-up thin-film solar panels?
