started reading this adult science fiction novel around 2019 as an audiobook, but soon abandoned it and forgot about it. It recently popped back into my mind for some reason. :) Since I only read the beginning, unfortunately I don't remember much else, except the premise was interesting. There was a description of how impossible would be to reach orbit with rocket, escape velocity concept and all that.
