Escape velocity does scale with (square root of) radius so its not a dumb thought.
And I’m not a rocket surgeon but I could imagine earth rockets might be operating near some physical limits that make 50% (or whatever) infrasible.

I think you are using the terms in a colloquial sense whereas i am using a technical sense.
In my view the distinction between a cable and a wire is one of construction, not what it’s carrying.
Wire = a continuous length of conductor electrically connecting one thing to another
Cable = one or more wires, with electrical insulation between them, generally enclosed in an outer jacket suitable for end user handling. It could be transmitting usb data or 32kW at 800V and still be a cable.

Not all cables carry data.

- Comment on Nothing more permanent than a janky solution 2 weeks ago:
Data is encoded physically by the modulation of electrical characteristics (voltage, frequency, current, phase), which is effected by the motion of electrical charge, which is what we call…current.
- Comment on Nothing more permanent than a janky solution 2 weeks ago:
Believe it or not, data is carried by current
- Comment on Does importing goods from abroad alone really void sales tax? 3 weeks ago:
In the US, in states that charge sales tax, the merchant is generally supposed to charge sales tax. And if they don’t, the purchaser is generally supposed to pay a “use tax” that is the same amount as what the sales tax would have been.
The latter pretty much never happens though, because there isn’t the tax infrastructure to do that for individuals.

Then most transparent plastic will work.
To be sure, find out exactly which material is used in whatever you’re considering buying (PC, PET, acrylic, glass, etc) and look up it’s transmission spectrum. Make sure it is high at 940nm.
- Comment on Easily available 940 nm transparent films? 3 months ago:
I’ve used and tested the same sensor with a wjndow made of 4905 transparent vhb laminated onto clear pet film.
Are you trying specifically to filter out non-IR frequencies?
