mmkwt replylemmy.world3Hide 3 repliesEven if you went to some asteroids that have low escape velocities, a spacecraft still has all of the mass of a spacecraft--probably a few 1000 kg. So you probably can't get it going fast enough, even if you can escape yourself by jumping.6

When it eventually lands, they're in for a hike.
If your fastball is 5324 mph, give the MLB a call!
Who else has done exactly this before on Gilly in Kerbal Space Program?
