And now jump in the air and escape the gravitational pull.

12 kilometers straight up.

  1. 150 km.

Gravity not so weak now, huh?

It's still weak, just like humans are still slow.

At least compared to other animals.

But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.

And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.

Just like gravity.

We can try to keep going until we just can't anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.

Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.

Also not so weak if you find yourself at a height in the air.
