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

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.
