There’s actually a thin plastic membrane on the inside of most cans. It helps preserve the taste of the product. There’s a couple cool chemistry videos on YouTube where they use acids to dissolve the metal without damaging the plastic, leaving a weird bag of soda with a can lid.

That’s actually super exciting! I’d be glad to see a player other than SpaceX make headway in the industry. Thanks for the reply!

What’s the word with spinlaunch these days? I feel like I’ve been seeing hype videos for like a decade and not a single article about progress/achievement/contracts.
