Abstract

We investigate the potential for someone skydiving on other worlds if they had protection against the hostile temperatures and pressures. We nd that there are 4 astronomical bodies in the solar system that could potentially be suitable for skydiving with notable examples being Titan where you could glide to safety with just an umbrella (diameter > 88cm) and Mars where you would need a parachute the size of a swimming pool (> 24m) in order to survive.
