minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoEven 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.
