That would be closer to 5 G.
I don't know the formula to work this out, but I wonder, at a constant 5 G acceleration, how long of a track (railgun) would be required to send something orbital?
I recall something suggesting the track might span several states.
What I want is a track and bike with sufficient gearing on the moon to pedal to a speed that allows for nearly zero G (2,200 MPH).
