these guys know their stuff. I was gonna point out that "escapes" doesn't tell you enough to explain what happens next. Kinda gotta think of the atmosphere around earth like the smoke machine. Sure you can kick your feet and stir up a cloud but its just gonna slowly dift back down to the ground. If the air gets far enough away solar winds/radiation will eventually collide with it.
