Is it possible to catapult something so fast that it goes around the world before being slowed down by the air? Or would it have to be too fast to stay in the atmosphere.

>>16283228it would take a magical element that doesn't burn and masses more than any known substance, being thrown by a device stronger than anything ever built, and it would leave a trail of devastation in its wake. Thousands, even millions would die if you were to somehow prove the possibility true, so I hope you have a good reason for wanting to know this.
>>16283228>>16283292would need to be something that survives forces involved, but also designed into a shape and have properties which allow for extremely low friction. Otherwise you'd have to impart so much speed it escapes the atmosphere, but at that point you could try pitching down to provide lift with gravity.
