In Kerbal Space Program, Gilly's extremely small mass means that a Kerbal can achieve orbit using only a full jetpack, demonstrating that orbital velocity requirements decrease significantly for smaller celestial bodies.

An EVA jetpack is all you need to orbit Gilly!Added:
In Kerbal Space Program, Gilly is really, really small.
So small, in fact, that I think I can put this Kerbal in orbit [music] with just a full jetpack.
Let's jump to get some height. Don't want to waste any fuel when we don't need to.
And accelerate.
And just like that, look how high we are.
I think a little more burning will do the trick.
And we're in orbit with 4.4 of our five units of fuel left.
That was easy.
All right, Lisman Kerman, you've served your purpose.
Into the surface of Gilly you go.
