To achieve orbital velocity (approximately 7.8 km/s or Mach 20), a soccer ball would need to travel faster than hypersonic missiles, causing its surface to burn from air friction and reach nearly 50 km altitude before crossing the 100 km boundary of space; however, the forces required would instantly shatter a human femur and generate a shockwave powerful enough to throw a person backward like an explosion, demonstrating that while the physics of orbital velocity is achievable, human anatomy cannot withstand such extreme forces.

Can You Kick A Soccer Ball INTO ORBIT? β½οΈπAdded:
Can you kick a soccer ball into orbit?
Mach 1, the ball rockets upward then falls after only a few hundred meters.
Mach 5, now it punches through clouds.
The surface of ball starts burning from air friction. Mach 10, the ball glows red hot reaching nearly 50 km high. Mach 20, faster than hypersonic missiles. The ball finally crosses 100 km, the edge of space. Final stage, your leg would snap instantly and the shockwave alone could throw you backwards like an explosion.
