“assuming no air resistance”

That’s a fair assumption everywhere but earth.

This reflects something fascinating I learned earlier this year: the surface gravity of Uranus, despite its great size, is LESS than that of Earth. I imagine the gravity well covers an amazingly huge volume, so it’s still much harder to launch from Uranus (OK, get the giggles over with), but with such a dense atmosphere, such light gravity, and such massive amounts of water, carbon, etc., just think of what could be constructed there.

So it’s not a ball the size of the solar system, that you are pounding us all with. Whew!!

Galactic dodge ball! The only way to win is not to play.

This remains the best way of expressing gravity differences across the Solar System. Note Pluto IS a planet.

Gravity sucks no matter what planet you are on. It’s just that some planets suck less than others.

The video of the astronaut has gotta be the worse found.
You cannot even determine which sound stage it was filmed on....
