From Escape Speed to a No-Return Boundary

Where does the familiar escape-speed analogy help, and where does it fail?

You kept mass fixed, watched shrinking radius raise the classical estimate, derived the Schwarzschild scale, defined every symbol and unit, and replaced the slow-rocket story with a causal-boundary explanation.

One solar mass is shown at progressively smaller radii as an outward light path approaches a dark horizon-scale boundary. — Vastward artistic reconstruction. The sizes and light path are arranged to teach the transition from a Newtonian escape-speed clue to a relativistic event horizon; this generated scene is not an observation or a scale drawing.
