i can tell by the pixels.

8/9/2014 2:03:48 PM

Comet 67/P

8/9/2014 2:19:11 PM

the comet that the ESA probe Rosetta recently achieved orbit of, and is planning a landing this fall. (first ever)

it appears to be exceptionally flat on its bottom, maybe they should land on that part of it

8/9/2014 3:09:39 PM

stay away from the east side, its gets a little sketchy around that part of the comet

8/9/2014 3:30:55 PM

^ More specifically, the south east side

I call dibs on being the first person to wingsuit off it.

Where does one buy a wingsuit? Does REI have them?

With that things relatively small size and miniscule gravity could one run and jump and do a few Orbitz before landing again?

Blame googel voice to text for the product placement

you could probably just "jump" and reach escape velocity and never come back "down" to the comet. (of course jumping would be awkward because there would be such a minimal gravitational force pulling you towards the comet it would be really hard to just stand there.)

The market is way too small to carry at REI. There's like 2000 - 3000 active wingsuit skydivers at most in the US and like 1000 active wingsuit BASE jumpers globally. Squirrel is using Ozone Paragliding for their manufacturing, but most of the other manufacturers do everything small batch made by hand and takes about 4 - 6 months from the time of order.

REI is pretty hilarious to get gear at.

Me: Looking at hiking poles.
REI Staff: With your height you're going to want a little longer poles for the hike back down.
Me: I don't need them for the hike down.
REI Staff:
