5.4 newtons is 1.2 pounds of thrust. This is not much, short term, but if it can run for a month, you have build up significant velocity.

But first you have to overcome mass. The thing will accelerate like a Citroen 2CV loaded with six fat hippies.

Imagine that Citroen accelerating at the same rate for two weeks 24/7!

The momentum once that thing gets moving though, it's gonna be unstoppable! (ROFL!)
