So how do we pick up the 8 km/s of speed and the (comparatively trivial) other 50km of altitude ?
		Thor Heyerdahl was my favourite Crazy Eddie; I don't have an ISBN for The Kon Tiki Expedition (published by George Allen and Unwin, 1950) translated from Kon-Tiki Ekspedisjonen (Gyldendal Norsk Forlag, 1948); but a bunch of crazy vikingær sailed across the Pacific in a stone-age boat.
