A bit of a woosh. He’s saying you only need to throw someone off a building or out of a plane and they’ll die falling to the ground. No need to leave Earth.
Does the velocity of the earth around the sun enter into it if the projectile doesn’t come anywhere close to leaving earth’s gravitational pull? When I said “at the sun” it was just a direction. A gesture towards the spirit of the original “into the sun.” They won’t reach it. They’ll just be a splat mark [insert parabola math here]-ish meters away.
You’d still be moving some 30km/s around the sun, and need to decelerate from that speed.
