Description
I took the name from the episode, "Descent," where Picard ordered diverting auxiliary and emergency power to the impulse engines in order to catch up to the Borg, and Data said, "Impulse engines are now at one hundred twenty five percent."

It's based on a question on Quora how they got the Enterprise out of the Iowa shipyard on Star Trek (2009).

And if course the butthurting manbabies said bad writing.

Bad criticism is more of an answer, like bad criticism over the bombing scene on The Last Jedi (2017).

But the answer is they simply use thrusters and basic Newtonian physics.

I was hoping to figure out how much G-forces were coming from the thrusters from this scene:

But there's tonnes of variables that I don't have access to. And even then, I'm not that good.

But if we look at these scenes:

All say thrusters and impulse engines have MORE THAN enough power to get the Enterprise airborne.

But if we look at this scene that has actual, honest to god figures:

From this scene:

youtu.be/I8O_C7T5H_s

It took 1:08 from Khan activating Genesis to the Enterprise fully coming about and accelerate.

So the Enterprise took 2:22 to reach roughly 4000km. That means the Enterprise was traveling at a WHOPPING 40G's!!!!

The retired space shuttle only needed 3G's to reach orbit.

So assuming they had shields up to protect the ship from heat buildup during lift off, or they used their deflector dish to displace the atmosphere enough to reduce drag, then the ship only needed 7.5% impulse power to attain orbit, and willing to assume they diverted impulse power to the thrusters.

Without having to get the warp core online like on Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), especially since the impulse engines were out based on the level of damage in the starboard aft saucer section:

Either way, it wasn't some fancy plot armour, some previously unmentioned technology, or some overly convoluted procedure to get the ship into space, just simple thrusters and impulse engines.
