My own version. Stacks of telescopic tubes or sylinders with rocket fuel and motors at the bottom of each to drive a ramp up from start aera at 400 - 500 meters over the ground. With two columns that have 300 tubes each measuring 400 meter this ramp should reach 120000 meters = 120 km, which is about 1/3 of the distance up to the level of ISS (International Space Station). From there the space capsule will use it's own rocket motors. Each stack's upper tube's rocket motor start first and will at it's bottom lock into the upper part of the tube right under to drag this one along - but at the same time this tube will fire it's own rocket motor at it's bottom. To be sure the stacks won't tip over, they are balanced with rockets at the ramp. The stacks of tubes are each supported by a sollid column that measure 400 - 500 meter.
