the short answer is yes.
and the long one is that countries like India with their space program ISRO have already used this method for their space ships to launch them further in space.
as we know ISRO functions on a fraction of budget compared to giants like NASA we have to find new and innovative ways to make our rockets cheaper.
when launching a spacecraft further in space one of the most laborious task is to design a powerful engine which can lift of heavy weights off the earths gravitational force, but this creates a paradox, if you build more powerful engine it gets heavier, so to lift this extra weight u need an even more powerful engine, but this new engine will be even heavier.
so in order to solve this problem ISRO used earths gravity to escape earth gravity, the encircled earth like a satellite and using a catapult like system they thrusted the space shuttle out of earths gravity and into the space to reach mars(the mangalyan)

Black holes and other extreme cosmic phenomena challenge our current understanding of physics in profound ways. Firstly, they contain gravitational singularities where our known laws break down, demanding a theory of quantum gravity. Their event horizons defy our conventional understanding of space, time, and energy behavior under extreme gravity. The information paradox questions how information entering a black hole is preserved or lost. Hawking radiation suggests black holes emit particles, challenging classical thermodynamics and the interaction of quantum mechanics with gravity. Additionally, cosmic acceleration, attributed to dark energy, challenges fundamental forces and our conception of empty space. Dark matter’s presence, inferred from gravitational effects, challenges our understanding of the universe’s composition and particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Gamma-ray bursts and neutron stars challenge our knowledge of extreme magnetic fields, particle acceleration, and matter at densities far exceeding those on Earth. Addressing these challenges is crucial for advancing both our understanding of the universe and refining our foundational physical theories.
