Well it's been almost ten years and they still aren't launching into space so I'd say they've been correct so far.
Everything is impossible, until it isn’t.
Being possible and being feasible aren't the same thing.
And some things never are. I don't think spin launch is doomed to failure, but there are definitely projects that some people take seriously that are legitimately never going to happen
Eh… eventually anything we are trying to do now short of things that would break natural laws will be possible at one point or another.
For instance, even though something crazy like the Theranos Edison is impossible with current and even near future tech, it’s going to be possible one day, which is a certainty.
