Can You Kick A Soccer Ball INTO ORBIT? ⚽️🚀

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.
