Inverted Aerobraking is a proposal for a medium to far future alternative solution to launch spaceships

On New Year's Eve 2006, Dr. Alex Walthem mentioned the "Reverse Aerobrake" idea on the Artemis List.

One source of material for this approach could be derived from lunar regolith. Another source might be Near Earth Asteroids.
