I vote the force involved breaks the laws of physics

No, no, it will work. If you have a long enough track for the mass driver to launch from it can make it into space. However it need to be REALLY big and have a lot of power. Geothermal should enough enough power and getting it up to at least 2 km should do it. However its easier to launch from the equator than the poles. So we might need it a little bigger if its to launch from between them. It also would help if it started higher in elevation and its seed was smaller. Also if we are launching microbes, g-forces are not as much of a problem than if it was for say a macro species. In addition the current seeds  have their own "rockets" which means the launcher can get it to high speeds while the rocket helps propel it the rest of the way.

the fact that that calls for over mach40 may be an issue,
electromagnetic catapult depend on a huge amount of secondarily thrust

So not wanting to keep the project in stagnation I am making the "Eco-Pyramid Balance Rule" OPTIONAL however it is STRONGLY recomended that people still help balance things.

I have been gone a while but I just looked a few pages back and noticed a silicon based organism being mentioned and that it will live in this new underground map?

If some one would be kind enough to fill me in on what those are about and what else I might have missed of importance that would be greatly appreciated.

The winner of the diorama contest will be able to design a silicon based lifeform and choose where which cave it lives in. Silicon based life will need to crystalline in nature and will have a slower evolution than carbon. Which is it can only be evolved at maximum of once per week. These are the criteria i made up for it. If they are accurate to real silicon based life is uncertain. But i based it off a speculative alien book I read. So that's how it will be.

the logic that say silicon based life looks like quarts also says we are dimends
and there is no energy in silicon
