Original Note:
A rocket does not actually need to attain EV to escape, but could achieve that at any speed with a suitable mode of propulsion and sufficient propellant to provide the accelerating force on the object to escape. EV is only required to send a ballistic object on a trajectory. https://nasa.fandom.com/wiki/Escape_velocity#:~:text=The%20escape%20velocity%20from%20Earth,energy%20is%20equal%20to%20zero.
