No. Escape velocity on the moon is 1.47 miles per second, or about 5,300 miles per hour. You couldn't manage that speed under your own power.

Not the Earths Moon. Don't know the escape velocity from Diemos (orbiting Mars) but even if you didn't get off you'd take a while getting back.

Not even close, but you could put yourself into a short low lunar orbit if you jumped of a mountain or something....gravity is about 1/6 of earth's so you should be able to jump about six times farther/higher than on earth. I can't wait to see the Lunar X-Games.

absolutely not. the moon's gravity is 1/6 the gravity of the earth but still you're gonna need a velocity of more than 8500 km/h.

Not a chance. You could not jump hard enough to escape any moon.

you could escape earth's gravity if you kicked off hard enough but no one has ever had the ability to do it.

No, it's escape speed is far too high.
