  1. uh buy a rocket or build one


  2. Buy some new tennis shoes and RUN until you reach the speed of 17,500 miles per hour.

    If you want to go to the moon RUN 25,000 mph

  3. Practice highjump till your upward speed is 8.2kilometers per second.

  4. you need to run. Fast. Very fast.

  5. Become an astronaut.

  6. The problem of achieving orbit is of couse overcoming gravity.  For this two things are required speed and correct trajectory. Speed is achieved through the rapid oxidation of some highly reactive fuel.  But then that presents a problem, the amount of fuel required increases exponetially as the weight of more fuel is added.  This is why such huge rockets are required to just launch even the smallest payloads.  Oh and try to get as close as possible to the equator the earth's rotation there will give you more centripital force to help reach orbit.  Good luck and Godspeed!

  7. just become really really fat and have your own orbit.

  8. Get some young girl pregnant, and her father will launch you into orbit for free.

  9. jump?  jump high?

  10. I will assume that you will figure out how to survive once you get there, so I will only trouble myself with telling you how to get up there. I will also assume that you are looking to do it on the cheap, since you are not enrolled in the space program.  So, without further ado, allow me to suggest a few ways of getting yourself into a decent orbit, at least for a bit:

    1:  Stepping out of a commercial airliner - they often cruise at shockingly high altitudes, stepping out of one would get you into a low orbit, just not for very long.

    2:  They are coming a long ways with matter accelerators.  Essentially, you would be strapped to a metal cart that gets whiuped around an electromagnetic track until you are shot into space.  Possible downfalls - the acceleration would rip your frail human body apart

    Those are the best I have right now.  Good luck with that!

  11. flap ur arms

  12. lmao

    go to the top of mount everest and wear parachute pants and bring an oxygen tank.....jump AS HIGH AS YOU CAN!....and see what happens. get back to me when you live through it. (: good luck
