   you're missing the point. altitude and drag losses are nothing compared to horizontal velocity. you need to be going 7.8km/s. Per second! That takes a lot more energy than gaining any kind of altitude or overcoming atmospheric dra

   Not much at all. Low earth orbit is ~200km so the mountain is only helping by 1.5% of the needed altitude. Altitude is not even the most difficult part of getting to orbit. Getting to the necessary horizontal speed to stay in space takes a
