Quite possibly. Verona Rupes on Uranus&#8217; moon Miranda is estimated to be 20 kilometers deep &#8212; ten times the depth of the Earth&#8217;s Grand Canyon. Given Miranda&#8217;s low gravity, it would take about 12 minutes for a thrill-seeking adventurer to fall from the top, reaching the bottom at the speed of a racecar &#8212; about 200 kilometers per hour. Even so, the fall might be survivable given proper airbag protection. The featured image of Verona Rupes was captured by the passing Voyager 2 robotic spacecraft in 1986. How the giant cliff was created remains unknown, but is possibly related to a large impact or tectonic surface motion. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2fnUdoD\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could you survive a jump off the tallest cliff in the Solar System?
