Real answer:
Modify the inputs to achieve an escape velocity of ~1.5 m/sec.


BTW, 60 ksmoot is in the ballpark.


Damn IronWing, thanks, but how do I work that site? I was hoping someone would just tell me what time it is, not try and tell me how to build a watch LOL. So maybe tell me exactly how many "ksmoot" it came up with and I can translate to normal person measurements, like mass or volume or some shit? And what did you plug in for all those values? I was hoping someone would just say: "Like 1/8 the size of the moon" or "2 aircraft carrier's worth", to be honest, let's keep it simple LOL. Thanks!!!!

..surprised that other humans know what a Smoot is; or where it comes from.
