the catalog says 6.38x mass in one place and 5.6x mass in another

they must be able to calculate mass from orbital physics?

so you'd need a rocket 6x the size of SaturnV or whatever they are using for Artemis to escape it and most of that rocket is to lift the weight of the fuel for said rocket so it might be physically impossible to build such a creature at current level of tech

(might be yet another angle to "why no ETs" unless they are WAY more advanced)
