Launch loops can launch vehicles as fast as escape velocity for "kinetic energy cost", without the expense of large rocket engines and fuel and fuel tanks. Escape velocity at 80 km altitude ( rlaunch= 6458 km equatorial radius) is

v_{escape} = \sqrt{ 2 * \mu_0 / r_{launch} } =
, where
\mu_0
is the Earth's standard gravitational parameter, 398600.4418 km3/s2.
