The city is entering
into escape velocity of gentrification.
Not exact matches
«I try to imagine how it would be to stand on the surface of this icy object — small enough that a fast sports car could reach
escape velocity and drive off
into space — and stare up at a 20 - kilometre wide ring system 1000 times closer than the Moon.»
As the satellite dips down
into the atmosphere, STATIC identifies the cold ionosphere at closest approach and subsequently measures the heating of this charged gas to
escape velocities as MAVEN rises in altitude.
John Michell (1783) and Pierre - Simon Laplace (1796) were the first people to propose the concept of «dark stars» or object which, if compressed
into a sufficiently small size, would have an
escape velocity which exceeded even the speed of light.
After that, it remained on the martian surface until about 16 million years ago, when a massive impactor — a comet or asteroid — slammed
into Mars, spewing material
into space at such tremendous
velocity that some of it, including ALH84001, was able to
escape Mars's gravity.
In order for a space shuttle to make it
into space, it needs to continuously accelerate until it reaches
escape velocity.
In principle, however, one could do it by surrounding the expanding gas cloud with a massless elastic membrane, or an elastic membrane accelerated to match
velocities when the gas reaches it, or by an array of rocket nozzles pointed
into the flow to catch the gas, or by surrounding it with a massive perforated sphere with a gravitational
escape velocity higher than the gas
velocity, or by running it
into a medium of suitably graduated density, etc...
