In this case, nesting the teapot in a catapult/cannon which is launched by another catapult/cannon might perhaps be sufficient to get past NASA regulations. (Catapults/cannons only launching the payload and not themselves...) --Nialpxe, 2017. (Arguments welcome)

But make sure it is a moblie cannon, otherwise it would not quilify as a launch vehicle. 162.158.89.19 11:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
I immediately thought "railgun". And the payload can still be a rocket; once it's not touching the ground it's accelerating, not launching. (Also Russell failed to account for female barbers. Honestly, people!)

Only if you assume that females who are barbers don't shave their legs, armpits, or their various lady parts. This only further confuses the paradox.
