Is it possible to skydive from space?

Answer 1

In zero gravity = no. Not unless you're on an artificial surface like a space shuttle with some sort of magnetic boots, otherwise there would be no surface to push off of to walk.

You can walk on the moon or other low gravity no-atmosphere environments.

Addendum:

The Apollo astronauts liked to hop and skip around on the surface of the moon. This was faster than walking and did not take much more effort.

A "space walk" is when an astronaut goes outside the spacecraft, although the astronaut does not actually walk. A "space walk" may be done to make a repair.

Answer 2

Try it and see!!!

Where space starts is widely disputed. (See related question)

The lowest value is 50 miles.

The highest mountain is Mt Everest at around 5.5 miles. So even if you COULD climb it, you'd be 44.5 miles short.

Answer 3

It is impossible to go beyond space, as space is expanding at the speed of light, so unless you get something much faster than the speed of light, (which most definitely won't exist ever) then no, you cannot. _________________ If it is ever possible to go 'beyond space', it won't be by trying to 'catch up' to the expansion of the universe. It is not like a simple bubble with a defined and reachable 'surface'. It will be by knowing how to use high enough energies (energies way beyond anything but our imaginations) to fold something up into one or more of the theoretical 11 dimensions currently believed to constitute the Quantum world. If reality is anything like this 11-dimensional structure, then other universes are right here, right now. They permeate or overlap every bit of 'space' that we occupy, only they are hidden from view and from having any interaction with us, because they are 'locked up' in these other dimensions. It may be that we will interact with some of these other universes, if they exist, in thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of years. But for now such things are [mostly] in the realm of Science Fiction.

Answer 4

Yes, it is possible in principle. You would need to have some thermal shielding though.

Answer 5

No. No material known to man can make this a possible event. The temperature is too high.

Answer 6

If you would like to plummet to your death.

Answer 7

I one is able to obtain the "escape velocity" from earth's gravity and is properly attired with a source of oxygen one could possible escape to space.

Answer 8

No, because what we can see is the top of a thick and stormy cloud layer.

Answer 9

You can now, if you can afford the ticket price. The Russian Federation will take you to the Space Station for 20 million dollars.
