Needed to set it totally free from bonds of earths gravity

Reference no: EM13658161

The science fiction writer Robert Heinlein once said, "If you can get into orbit, then you're halfway to anywhere." Justify this statement by comparing the minimum energy needed to place satellite into low Earth orbit (h=400km) to that needed to set it totally free from the bonds of Earth's gravity. Neglect any effects due to air resistance.
