escape velocity

In fact, venture capital is likened to “rocket fuel” that is dangerous if put into a car but perfect for a rocket ready to shoot for escape velocity.

The planet didn't seem to be getting any closer at all, and it ought to; they were approaching it at better than escape velocity.

He ran off tangential to orbit at escape velocity on a pattern that would probably run in a straight path to infinity.

With contragravity, of course, terms like "escape-velocity" and "mass-ratio" were of purely antiquarian interest.

He was, of course, traveling at escape velocity or better, and you do not orbit at escape velocity.

And it's still men that will have to do it, escape velocity or no.
