Ridiculous question, could this be scaled to launch shuttles from the moon?

I am a chemical and mechanical engineer from Sacramento CA, I was wondering if you were interested in adapting this design with some upgrades into a system that I am considering putting together for an orbital launch mechanism. My Email is Wolpert.david@gmail.com if you are interested. I would be putting together a pitch for the SBIR grants in the USA. https://seedfund.nsf.gov/
