It’s true that “space”, depending on your definition, is only a teeny bit over 60 miles straight up. That would be an hour at 60mph.
But to to escape the pull of gravity that’s holding you back, your car’s engine would need to work a LOT harder than that….
It takes so much energy it would propel you over 17,000 mph on a surface road.
But once you reach that speed, it takes less than 10 minutes to get there.
And if you don’t reach it, you ain’t goin’ nowhere.
