Ummm, not sure where they got these numbers from but Earth's escape velocity is not 7000mph and escaping the sun's gravitational pull (leaving the solar system from Earth) is not 30,000mph. Respectively the numbers are approximately 25,000mph and 94,000mph. You're welcome.

yeah, and it is not "research" to check it. They literally teach it in primary school physics.

Not in our freedom schools!

I mean, what for? Knowing that number isn't a life skill.
