Pay Attention, Supervillains!

Any budding supervillains out there should pay attention to the activities of John Hunter, because you could learn a lot from him.

Mr. Hunter works for a company called Quicklaunch, and has designed a cannon to shoot things into space at 13,000 miles per hour. The cannon is 1100 metres long, and it floats, so that it can be repositioned and re-aimed.

All they need is $500 million to build it.

Don't be fooled by the claims that this is to be used to send supplies to the International Space Station in a far more cost effective way. No, don't you see? He's going to use his Space Cannon to hold the cosmos itself to ransom!
