First, it is not my responsibility to do his research for him.
Second, spacecraft data is off topic.
Third, he didn't ask nice. His tone was superior and insulting.
Sorry if this spoils your bash.

Correct, because the following statement that you made:

Seems completely implausible, unless perhaps you are comparing your rocketship in unpowered orbit to the boat at full-throttle, or some similar unbalanced comparison. You brought up the spacecraft vs. boat fuel consumption issue, I'm merely asking you to back up your statement. Or, should we just accept any comparison you present as valid and factual?
Sorry if you don't like my tone, but if you make outlandish statements like the above you should be able to provide even approximate data off-hand. I'm not asking you to "do my research", I'm simply asking you to supply the data that you used to base your statement on.
Had *I* made the initial comment about spacecraft vs. boat fuel consumption, then I would not be offended if someone asked me to back up my argument with facts.
So, do you actually have any data to support the statement that you introduced into this thread?
