Re: It's hard to believe such a clammily… of a pos

In Response To: Re: It's hard to believe such a clammily… of a pos (ZackDark)

: Heh.

: He does have a point about the math itself, though. Which is why I'm
: advocating for a pure energy calculation, just like we did back in the
: "MAC Platform IS NOT CANON!!!" days.

Okay this is easy.

(P.E)= m*g*h

1085264000kg for the fuel plus 8128371kg for the ship's weight means you have to lift 1093392371kg.

Let's say 200km to be off the planet.

PE= 1093392371kg*200000m*9.8m/s^2

So it would take 2143049047160000.2 jules of energy TWO QUADRILLION JULES. That's 20 hiroshimas.
