Not quite, but as mass increases relative to Earth, launch vehicles become increasingly ridiculous. Many "super-Earth"s would need something like a Saturn V to get to their equivalent of the ISS, or maybe even their equivalent of Sputnik, depending on exactly how "super".
When you start to get into gas giant mass, chemical launch starts to become really close to impossible instead of just wildly unaffordable.
