Yeah, we had a big thread on that pulling out all of the mathmatical stops from vehicles. The conclusion was that if you can get off the ground with your thrust and lift, and we don't run into a weird speed at which lift stops working, you should be able to slowly ramp up your total speed and altitude with a reactionless drive until you are in orbit.



I think it took 16 hours or something silly like that.
