What happened to the first nine?

The railgun idea is fun, but the only place in the solar system that it works for manned flight is Ceres. You need near vacuum, low gravity, and a thousand kilometers of running room if you aren't going to turn your astronauts into pink goo. And we shall have to wait for fusion power as well, as that is a lot of juice
