Is is safe to skydive on the moon?

Question

Is is safe to skydive on the moon? Theoretical question.

Answer 1

The dive would be perfectly safe. It's the landing that will kill you. Parachutes don't work in vacuum.

Answer 2

No air, nothing to fly a parachute in. I wouldn't jump on the moon. I'll jump just about anywhere on the Earth!

There are a couple websites you need to check out to get good info on skydiving.

http://www.uspa.org is the website of the United States Parachute Association, the governing body for sport parachuting in the United States. There is a list of member dropzones on the website along with all sorts of great info on the sport.

The official site for the British Parachute Association is: http://www.bpa.org.uk/links.htm
The official site for the Canadian Parachute Association is: http://www.cspa.ca/

http://www.dropzone.com is another great resource for everything about skydiving, including dropzones in the United States and the rest of the world, and some BASE too.

http://www.bigairsportz.com is the web site for Brian Germain, one of the best people on the planet to get information on canopy flight from.

http://www.skydiveradio.com is just fun and a good place to feel like you’re at the drop zone when you can’t physically be there.

http://www.azarsenal.com/ is the website for the top vertical relative work team right now. Arizona Arsenal won the 2007 Nationals.

If you’re not sure about skydiving but want to fly you should look at the vertical wind tunnels. http://www.skyventure.com/ is the website for skyventure which operates many tunnels in the United States, Europe and Asia. I love flying in the tunnel. I don’t do it very much, I’d rather spend my money on skydives, but it is a great place to learn, work on my flying skills and just have a lot of fun!

Make sure that you contact the drop zone you want to jump at directly. There are a few scams out there, one of which is 1800skyride. They will take your money and send you to any dropzone they want too but only about three dz’s in the country except skyride tickets. So please, please, please contact the dropzone directly.

The tandem is a great jump. I’d get video too. I made one tandem in June of 2005. In August of 2005 I came back to start student training (good info about student training at uspa.org) and got my license. I’ve been jumping as much as I can and have a few hundred jumps. I have earned the USPA Coach Rating and plan to continue to jump for fun and help teach others how to fly and be safe in the air. There is nothing better than flying your body through the sky with your friends. The canopy is a lot of fun to fly too. It only gets better and better. Every weekend seems to be more fun than the one before. You will get into the sport for the rush, but you stay because of the people. I love this sport and I sincerely hope that you’ll become a full time skydiver and I’ll be able to make some jumps with you at a boogie!

Blue Skies! Black Death! And EFS!!!!

Answer 3

the fast answer for your question is not any, for the easy reason that the Moon's gravity might want to carry you to the Moon so that you may want to never go away the Moon. Now in case you've been out in area on a similar distance that the Moon is from Earth, i.e ~240,000 miles (or at an altitude above Earth of properly over one thousand million ft) and your beginning velocity relative to the Earth were close to 0, (a tough feat to finish yet nevertheless achieveable), then you extremely might want to certainly start up to loose fall in the route of the Earth, slowly amassing velocity, until eventually you slammed into the Earth's environment at ~25,000miles in accordance to hour. This loose fall might want to take you some 4 days, so that you may want to favor to deliver alongside food and water and definitely, some oxygen to breathe in this era. in case you've been composed of excellent metallic with a impressive metallic parachute, then possibly 50% of you may make it to the exterior. in case you've been built of something extra feeble, including flesh and bone with a fabrics parachute, you would not live to inform the tale get entry to into the Earth's environment, yet as a replace you may want to thoroughly expend someplace interior the stratosphere. i wish this helps.

Answer 4

No air to hold up the parachute.

Answer 5

You're falling at about 2 mph so yeah.
