1) actually a tad creepy that you know the height of the Watchtowers orbit. 2) v.av=d/t, d=35786E3 m, t=32*60=1920 s, v.av=18.6 km/s. Escape Velocity approx 11.1, well it can certainly escape Earth's gravitational field's effect (tech impossible to escape a gravitational field entirely) Two way i can think for verticallity, it's calibrated to fight perfect against Earth's rotational force, to create a mean linear path. (will add needed force vector for this tomorrow, sleepy.) or it was fast enough. Firing something off fast enough is sort of what they're trying to do with Rail Guns Mass Drivers as an alternative to traditional space launch, cheaper and I think it'd greater assist space frontier if properly implemented.

Although you didn't ask for it, tomorrow I'll add in the acceleration and force it'd probably need, +air resistance.

Ok. the Bioship is biological and stuff, so I guess it has a metabolism to create energy instead off typical tech explanations like spatial warping etc. to provide energy or movement.... What the hell does it Eat?
