I am not sure what the gravitational pull from the moon is. Can anyone tell me if you could escape the moon's gravity merely by jumping? If not, what outside force (springs, explosion, etc.) could make you "fall" off the moon?
I am writing a blog post for my blog about the future: the moon is populated and there is a contest that whowever jumps (or "helped" jumps) the highest wins a gigantic prize. But if you over-jump you are lost in outer space and as there are tens of thousands of people in the contest, they can't recover all the "over" jumpers. Apparently people are willing to take that chance...
I want to get the facts right for this post.
My blog is here, to give you an idea of the format: http://futurefeeds.blogspot.com/ ... or just for your entertainment.
Thanks in advance...
