One more, this time from "Players, Chapter Two: Directly to Jail":

The Bio-Ship was in Metropolis in 10:30, and passed the Watchtower at 11:02. Assuming that a) the Watchtower's orbit is at 22,300 miles like in the comics (or more precisely, 22,236 miles/35,786 kilometers), and b) it's in geostationary orbit over the eastern seaboard (it gets a EST timestamp), at what speed did the Bio-Ship travel to get that high and escape Earth's gravity in half an hour? Also, is it feasible that it pulled that off fully vertical?
