Mars has remarkable features! Valles Marineris is a canyon that spans the entirety of US and reaches a depth of 4 miles! nostr:note1ufxmpnz0kfuerffjds5k453x4kpne3xg5dx5jmmqzl4rfswryx4syq2435

I think I recall a physics professor calculate (or have us do it) how long it would take if you fell into that canyon to reach terminal velocity or hit bottom.

Morbid, but cool.🪂

I'm not calculating manually, but I just did the math.

A little over a minute, reaching speeds over 500mph (820km/hr). Give/take any wind or resistance.

Not sure if that's terminal velocity though.
