Moon Jump

This is my idea for the ultimate thrill seeker's base jump of a lifetime.

I couldn't give you any mathematical accuracy as it's just an idea and I don't know if it'd work.  But if it did it'd be ace!
So bear with me...

So first you drill a hole through the centre of the moon.



Make it about a mile wide.  It'll need to also have elevators running down the side,preferably more like capsules in vacuum tubes.  As many as possible.  Running to both sides of the moon where the hole comes out.

So what happens is pretty much like a base jump except you fall for roughly 1000 miles.  But it should also act like a bungee jump without the bungee cord.

From my limited understanding, gravity will obviously be lighter but the long decent and the vacuum of space should help speed that up so you'd essentially be flying pretty fast for 1000 miles.  Like Superman.  Albeit in a straight line.

Then you'll hit the centre.

And you'll fly right through.  But then gravity should pull you back.  The invisible bungee.
Then you should bounce back and forth like a yo-yo through the centre.  Until you come to a stop, hanging in the middle.

Obviously there needs to be some system in the centre for catching people.  I dunno- nets or whatever.
(I'm kind of assuming this will all be in the future so the elevators and catching apparatus will no doubt be more sophisticated than I can imagine now.)
But then you get pulled over to the side of the hole and get taken back up to the surface.


Simple.

Being a mile wide it'll be big enough so multiple jumps can happen at once as well as group/team jumps.
I assume the future will also have the walls or the inside of your visor (obviously you'll be in future space suits too) with optional video playback to make it look how you want it to look: flying through clouds/space/underwater/bloodstreams/a urethra.  Entertainment in the elevators and up at the surface waiting area: karaoke/movies/bar/lapdances. The full package.

I call it:

MOON JUMP

Until next time fools,
Pete
