“assuming no air resistance”

That’s a fair assumption everywhere but earth.

venus has higher pressure atmospheric resistence than earth even though it has less mass. Lack of oxygen does not = lack of resistence

This reflects something fascinating I learned earlier this year: the surface gravity of Uranus, despite its great size, is LESS than that of Earth. I imagine the gravity well covers an amazingly huge volume, so it’s still much harder to launch from Uranus (OK, get the giggles over with), but with such a dense atmosphere, such light gravity, and such massive amounts of water, carbon, etc., just think of what could be constructed there.

Oh fine! I just lost weight and now you want to go and repeal the law of Gravity.

Where were you 20 years ago?

We've got to change the name before then or a lot of people are going to burn.
