The chemical energy contained in 30 gallons of gasoline,  about 2 normal car tank fulls,  if fully converted into kinetic energy, is sufficient to send a 150 lb person into low earth orbit.

I don't know of any cousins that small. Can we use 60 gallons?

Wow, very cool.

I am forgetting everything I learned in gym class.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
