I\\\'m tired and probably failing physics somewhere, but the page introduction\\\'s \\\"YouFailPhysicsForever\\\" example assumes that you\\\'re launching in a straight line, in which case you would need the aforementioned massive delta-vee to cancel out the momentum from being launched from earth.
Couldn\\\'t you just aim to compensate for orbital momentum so that the object will \\\"drift\\\" into the sun? Sort of like shooting a target from a moving car - fire \\\"early,\\\" and the bullet\\\'s horizontal velocity will carry it into the proper lane during its travel time.
Anyone have a general citation for that claim? I doubt that it was made up on the fly (nor am I claiming such), but I\\\'d like to see the source data myself.

Plus, Venus (though admittedly far less massive than Jupiter) is still capable of gravity-boosting.
