Yesterday’s answer:
What’s the delta V required to achieve low earth orbit again?
A. 5.2 km/s
B. 23.8 km/s
C. 7.0 km/s
D. 9.4 km/s
The answer is...
SpoilerD! 23.8km/s of delta v is actually more than enough to escape the solar system. Solar system escape requires somewhere on the order of 17-18 km/s of delta v. 9.4 is enough for a comfortable low earth orbit, but it can go as low as 8 km/s.
Okay, time For the next edition of whatever the crap I am doing:

The most painful sting in the insect kingdom belongs to the velvet ant, more commonly known as the cow killer.
