: I did a quick calc, and for a ship that size, assuming escape velocity of
: 13km/s and a rocket exhaust of 4.5km/s, that means you'd need 135658.87kg
: per ton for 8000 tons, so thats 1085264000 kg of fuel, or basically the
: equivalent of 155037 elephants just the get the thing into orbit, assuming
: every last bit of fuel is burned. It'd be more if you want to fly the
: thing once in orbit!
: Yikes.
You have too much time on your hands Miller...
