I have to go on a trip in a few minutes, but an additional consideration to mass, ejection V & angle, etc. is the consideration of orbital mechanics of an ejected mass as to whether it is reaches a stable orbit, one that ultimately decays into earth or one that may escape the gravitational effects of the Earth-moon system.
