   So…about that throw being theoretically possible – and I’m sure I’ve forgotten some factors here:

   -Fast enough to circumnavigate the planet and overcome gravity and air resistance without losing altitude in the time it takes to circumnavigate Earth.-Slow enough to not reach escape velocity, which results in the ball going on an interstellar trip. Just in case, make sure to write or draw something clever on the ball first!-Cap somehow manages to find a perfectly clear vector free of solid objects to make that throw and catch. Poor Ralston.

   And most importantly:

   -Cap having enough brain cells to do that math or remember it when someone does the math for him and tells him the answer so he could actually manage the throw correctly.
