How do I get back from Eve?
I can now successfully land on Eve using a nuclear engine and several parachutes on my lander. I had originally tested taking off at Kerbin by equipping a pair of solid fuel boosters, but of course having more than twice the gravity at Eve meant this was more or less useless.
I've been looking around for an estimate of the amount of thrust/weight needed escape Eve's atmosphere but haven't found it yet. How could I go about calculating what to add to my lander given a certain weight of the lander?

How do I leave Eve?
The short answer is: You don't. That being said, it is possible to leave with as little as 8000m/s dV, but that is from a high altitude with an efficient design.How do you get back to kerbin in EVE?
There are basically three ways to return to kerbin: get thrown into an orbit higher than Kerbin and weight for Kerbin to catch up or orbit the sun twice (or more) to utilize orbit phasing - those are the cheap ways - the expensive way is to in essence burn massive amounts of fuel to slow your orbit around the sun ...How much Delta V do you need for Eve?
It requires about 7000 m/s of vacuum delta-v to get into orbit from sea level. Eve is 700 km in diameter, making it 100 km larger than Kerbin, and the largest terrestrial planet in the Kerbal solar system.Does Eve have an atmosphere?
Eve has an extremely dense atmosphere with a mass of approximately 1.9\xd71017 kilograms, a sea level pressure of 506.625 kilopascals (5 atmospheres), and a depth of 90,000 meters. Compared to the atmosphere of Kerbin, Eve's atmosphere has 4 times the mass and 5 times the sea level pressure.THE EVE TUTORIAL - Kerbal Space Program Guide
