I guess the acceleration needed to leave orbit might need so much more fuel if you need to do it slowly than doing it fast?
Otherwise it would just take longer.

Interesting though.
Does that really matter without air resistance?
Depending on how high you actually bring it. Like 500km away from earth is still an orbit (I think that's Hubble's orbit) but how much force do you need or will happen?

Will this be visually tracked? Like can we watch it to it's journey?
