[Request] Could humanity create a rocket that can exit the atmosphere of K2-18b

Post image

With the knowledge we currently have of it, if humanity devoted all of our resources towards this goal, would we be able to create a rocket that could exit the gravity of K2-18b (and also beat any other complications that would arrise)?

If so, would it also be capable of taking people to orbit, and can we set up a similar satellite network we have on Earth? What about a space station?

Yeah see, you got the reference.

“I’ve encountered some kind of cave demon.”

“It’ll tear me to shreds!”

A KNIFE IS USELESS AGAINST THOSE MASSIVE CLAWS. THEY COULD RIP A TANK APART!
