-> Ion rockets can achieve escape velocities approaching 100Km/s at low 
-> power. Deep Space 1's ion thruster could produce 90 milli-Newtons from 
-> 2.5KW of electric power or about 36 micro-Newton per watt. This 
-> hypothetical vacuum tube by comparison would be only 3 nano-Newtons 
-> per watt.
