For a Dornier DO-X it took 5 km to reach takeoff speed in 1929. To me many mental connections match the intended sense:

  • high tech required (aircraft)
  • high power needed to accelerate
  • long distance to reach takeoff speed
  • losing contact to ground in soft transition
  • steep rising and gaining further speed
  • switching to rocket drive

... and travel to Mars...

Other suggestions welcome! Foom is ok for a closed LW community but looks strange to outsiders.
