'Jump too fast and you might never come down again, because you could exceed the local escape velocity. Plus it would be easy to trigger an avalanche of rocks.”

Naomi emphasized the difficulty of traversing this rugged terrain, stating, "Moving across these boulders would likely involve much more climbing and jumping than walking. Be careful though- jump too fast and you might never come down again, because you could exceed the escape velocity."

Drawing comparisons to NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission on the asteroid Bennu, Michel pointed out that a hard surface could lead to astronauts sinking upon impact. On a harder body, even a mere 6 cm per second of upward motion could propel them into orbit.— approximately the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza at ~525 feet — orbits the massive Didymos asteroid measuring about 780 meters across.

The release velocity of the pair of CubeSats will be carefully controlled to prevent them from escaping the feeble gravity of the asteroid and getting lost in space. In 2005, the MINERVA lander of Japan’s Hayabusa mission was lost when it was deployed in the wrong direction while attempting to land on the Itokawa asteroid.
