  The escape velocity of the moon is 2.38km/s (compared to 11.2km/s on Earth) so you’d have to be throwing it pretty hard

    Even 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.

      I wish I could escape myself…

        Have you tried jumping? Sounds like that may be the ticket!

      You could probably gradually get it moving across the surface fast enough to escape though.

    Man even a 5.6 is only 0.9km/s. I thought we could give the moon a ring of bullets.

  Not the moon, but this comic would work on some asteroids.

    How small would it have to be?

  This comment makes me want to play some Kerbal Space Program again, where you can launch yourself into orbit from Minmus (the 2nd moon) with a jump.

  Nor can you throw a spaceship around on the Moon.

  So maybe that cartoon isn’t about the Moon.

  When it eventually lands, they’re in for a hike.

  If your fastball is 5324 mph, give the MLB a call!
