How much Force\Power does it take to "Punch someone to the Moon"?

Question

I'm asking because as a "Comic-book Fanboy" I would like to know how much Force\Power\Strength\Speed is require in order to Punch someone from Earth's Orbit to the Moon.I.e Like Etrigan Punching Superman to the Moon,or Helspont Punching Superman(though they appeared to be in the "outer atmosphere" )to the Moon.

Also would Punching someone to the Moon be more impressive(Strenght wise) then Moving 1\3 of the Earth?

Thanks alot!

Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) is still threatening Alice Kramden (Audrey Meadows) with his famous script line of
"...Bang, zoom to the Moon..."  in the old TV sitcom series "The Honeymooners".
I think both of them had the answer to your query, but it's too bad for you since they both are deceased.

The average velocity of something in orbit is about 7600ms and you need to be going at 10650ms to reach the velocity required for TLI. So pretty much your will need to accelerate them to 10,650ms.
Assuming they have a mass of about 60kg, you will need a force of 183kN.

You'd need to accelerate them to at least 11km/s just to leave the gravity of the Earth.   Their head would snap off long before that were possible.

In order to escape Earth's gravitational pull, a body must travel at "escape velocity." Escape velocity, for Earth, is approximately 11.2 km/s.  In order for me to calculate how much force would be needed to accelerate a specific body at escape velocity, I would need to be given the mass of the body. Because, F=ma.

Ten Kramdens for one Alice.
