Just realised that Seymour almost certainly has his own petard, given its derivation, he may BE a petard, from the Middle French péter, to fart.
All we may need to get him into orbit may be a dustbin and a vicious vindaloo
Once the RSB goes through, not sure something with as many moving parts as a trebuchet will be any safer...also a good chance it won't have the range and he'll be able to swim to shore...
We need how many arrogant prick clones for trial replicates tho? We don’t want them escaping into the wild. But then again, nobody would willingly cross-pollinate him/them, would they?
So, the person has to be isolated from the explosion or the pressure will explode the person, leading to very poor aerodynamic profile, which basically means you need a ante-projectile that sits under the person that absorbs the force of the explosion
In the old days we used to call this "ante-projectile" by the name "wadding"
Since Seymour so easily gets his pants in a bunch, I propose that we fold him in half and load him arse first using the bunch as the wad, obviating the chance that we drive his ankles through his brai..
ne'mind
Of course, the explosive force required to launch an 80kg person at any sensible velocity is pretty massive, which means the ante-projectile will need to be very heavy to survive, which means the explosion will have to be even bigger.
This is ruinously expensive, and environmentally catastrophic!
I love Old Timey Circus Cannons and Trebuchets equally. Now I don't know what to do, this is just like when my parents divorced. Please don't make me choose.
Does it have to be a real old timely cannon, or can we just build a faux old timey cannon using modern methods and safety standards? I mean, it's really more about the look of things and it's really hard to get parts for real old timely cannons.

With that, it would be possible to have your David Seymour and fire him as well.

Don't be duped by the cannon-bros trying to sell you their dead end technology!
(JK of course. I do not condone exploding people. Even DS.)
