    Did you get the 1/3 number somewhere? St. Petersburg is on the Baltic, and Moscow is only like 600 km away.

    I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I can’t stop.

      Yeah I did some research and calculations, and pulled that number out of my ass

      Edit:

      Based on this guys math which I trust as much as anything in this community, you’d need 9522km/h velocity, which is pretty damn close to 1/3 LEO velocity (28000km/h)
