It appears as a rougher northwest face of Half Dome. Just higher. If you fell off Half Dome you would not be ok. Been there.

This hurt my brain.

Someone needs to doctor a rock-climbing Captain Kirk into this image. and, enough time for Spock to rescue a falling Captain Kirk

Certainly time for a nap

Excellent! Sign me up.

Oh so it’s about 50/50 whether or not I’ll be okay /hj

0.28 mm/s²

So cool

I literally broke my ankle falling 8 inches. It’s doable!

Now this is something I desperately want to do.

Thanks for the credit, appreciate it.

If it had an atmosphere, you might be able to flap your arms and fly!

I would love this as a fine art print in my house.

Maybe more of a "trust fall" than a "jump", if you don't want to launch yourself into orbit?

What a lovely idea . . . Alex Honnold would definitively want to climb it.

Wacky right?

You could probably fly by flapping your arms except there’s no atmosphere.

So, if Mars was pushed off that cliff…

I’d be more than willing to take that leap if I could be 100% assured that I wouldn’t break a leg. I don’t want a broken leg on a comet hurtling past the Sun, millions of miles from home.

Fresh powder?

No, what a neutron star would do. I wouldn't like that at all.

It just loves you so much!

All I can think of:

Yeahhhh!

Show your work.

Too big, I think: call it 280 m along the long axis, so a little under four stacked end to end to make the cliff. Whereas this version looks like be 2.5 = the cliff.

That @esa.int image was the nearest the space age ever got to the genius of Ansel Adams

This comet's cliff kinda looks a little like the cliff of Mount Thor: steep, keenly high, and I'll just admire the photos. Thank you for the science! www.summitpost.org/thor-peak/15...

looks rather crumbly

at that rate, i feel like it would depend a bit on how hard you jumped!

You could jump off the comet completely.

Assuming you had enough oxygen to last that long

I wouldn't be. I would turn an ankle upon landing, minimum, maybe worse. I'm built different* *old

man if i jump would i even fall or just go off into space? that doesn't seem like it has a lot of mass.

so fucking cool

It's all fun and games until I roll an ankle jumping off the 1 km cliff

Me on that cliff

Hmmm.. you said that last time

If you were on on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, you'd probably not be okay... ;)

"Cliff" is too much of a terracentric term to apply to something that's shaped like a dumbbell. 'Standing' at "the top" of that would surely be one of the ultimate "WTAF!" moments...

These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder - Paul Simon
