Did you factor in that JC would presumably have to launch at a pitch angle of around 50° and in an easterly direction, to gain momentum from the Earth's rotation? Then after climbing to about 30km, leaving the dense part of the atmosphere, he'd have had to pitch down to 20° so as to gain tangential velocity. Though this isn't the only way to achieve escape velocity, it is just about the most fuel-efficient.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
