Vector Ve

The Great Departure. Escape velocity is the point where Momentum Overcomes Mass. It’s the speed required to turn a planet into a distant memory.

  • 🔓 No Orbit: You aren't looping; you are leaving.
  • ⚖️ Mass Independent: A marble and a Starship need the same speed.
  • 🌠 Hyperbolic: Your path becomes a "V" shape rather than a circle.

Vector Mass

The Source Code. Central Mass is the Weight of Authority. Every orbital maneuver you perform is a direct negotiation with the kilograms packed into the center of the planet.

  • 💎 Density: How tightly M is packed changes the "Surface Gravity."
  • 🔄 Influence: M dictates the shape of every possible orbit.
  • 🏗️ Static: Unlike your fuel, the Central Mass never changes.

Radius (r)

The Distance Matrix. Radius is the Leash of Gravity. It determines how much energy you need to maintain your position in the vacuum.

  • 📍 Core-Focus: Always measured from the center of mass.
  • 📉 Fall-off: Higher r = Lower G-load = Slower orbital speed.
  • 🛰️ Altitude: Only a fraction of the total radial distance.

Limit: ve

The Zero-Point. Minimum escape velocity is the Kinetic Key. It’s the exact moment your momentum outweighs the planet's structural pull.

  • 🔓 Parabolic: Your path becomes an open curve.
  • 🏁 Finality: No more fuel is needed to keep going.
  • 📉 Radial: The further you start, the lower the cost.
