Escape velocity?

Sometimes,

when I was really high

I wondered

how much more would it take

to reach escape velocity?

Here is some information about reaching escape velocity!!

A spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth, for example, needs to be going about 11 kilometers (7 miles) per second, or over 40,000 kilometers per hour (25,000 miles per hour), to enter orbit. Achieving escape velocity is one of the biggest challenges facing space travel.

But who was talking about spacecraft?

So, is there a railway line or carpeted road to enter the orbit? :P
Spacecraft is necessary to make a space travel that's why...!!! ;)

So did you get an answer for that wondering question?

That, my friend, is a very closely guarded secret :-)

Its a question full of mystery i guess

Ah! Sometimes secrets are good to be disclosed! :P

You'll know when you reach it!!!

Ah, an optimist!

Sometimes, it's the only way to be!

Escape velocity? It's all in the mind.

Then I am doomed! I lost my mind long ago :-)

i think you need vocation!!! :)
not in Loutraki but in an
island! i think you need 1 week to Mikonos!! :)))

What about a weekend at the Casino here in Loutraki?

mmmm, that is a very very good idea... :)

The picture shows that you are inteligent when you are high. You are calm when you are at low. You wonder brave. And you want flow at escap velocity. I wish your success to escap velocity without changing the momentum. Go fast. Fly high.

"Go fast. Fly high."

I like it!

escape velocity is 24,000 miles per hour.
do the math.

Yeah nearly 40K Km/h! That's huge.

That's how fast it takes to reach orbit.
Once you're in orbit you're halfway to anywhere.

I've heard that you can't even take math with you :-)

you can do math in your head...
can't you?

Not when I'm up really high LoL

It's called evolution in action

I learnt a lot from here..... This is a beautiful write up.
Nice one

Physics being my favorite subject, I loved reading about escape velocity again. That's the really great photography. Thanks for sharing.

Throw a rock up in the air and it will always come back down. Imagine a rocket to be a rock. They will always come back down unless they move fast enough to either go into orbit or get away from the Earth. The question is what is that velocity? (answer: the orbital velocity or the escape velocity)
