As for SpinLaunch, I see them closer to a HyperLoop than a real thing.. but if they do manage to do something, one thing I could see them throwing into space is fuel.
A trip to Mars will require a lot of fuel, far more than can be launched with a Mars vehicle. If SpinLaunch worked, fuel seems like an ideal payload. Raw materials if/when space construction ever becomes a thing.
