Assuming no air resistance and 10m/s^2 gravity. I calculate that you would have to be doing ~1,100m/s (~mach 3.2 at sea level) straight up at 37km to reach 100k

- wizzwizz4 2y agoSeems about right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_HARP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_HARP (1966) got 2100m/s from a ground-based cannon: this got the projectile to 179km.
