Here is some information about reaching escape velocity!!
A spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth, for example, needs to be going about 11 kilometers (7 miles) per second, or over 40,000 kilometers per hour (25,000 miles per hour), to enter orbit. Achieving escape velocity is one of the biggest challenges facing space travel.
But who was talking about spacecraft?
So, is there a railway line or carpeted road to enter the orbit? :P
Spacecraft is necessary to make a space travel that's why...!!! ;)
