All suborbital flight has less Delta V than orbital flight. Again, you don’t know how rockets work.

It’s got nothing to do with how rockets work.

It’s simple physics/math.

“D = one-half acceleration times ‘time squared’”.

Constraining distance and time leaves only acceleration as a variable.

Try computing it yourself and see what you get.
