You would fall back down a couple minutes later.

Getting into space is easy. Just go up.

Staying in space is hard. After getting up above the atmosphere, you then need to get thrown sideways so fast that the curve of the arc you've been thrown on is equal to the curvature of the planet's surface.

Earth's rotational speed will only get you about 1/15th of the way to reaching orbital velocity.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.
