I think all you need to do to release the payload is to stop flicking it, so that part should be easy.
I guess,
so:
how much crushing centrifugal G force can the thing you are trying to send into space handle,
how much momentum does it take to leave the earth’s atmosphere from ground-level
could you combine this method and another propulsion method?
