Re: OT: jumping over the moon
If the cow hide could somehow resist burning up, the velocity attained would be very near escape velocity from the earth, and it is likely that it never would come down again. So it wouldn't really be jumping over the moon.
not so. good targetting goes a long way, and it is possible to slingshot around the moon and return to earth.
now, when the cow hit the ground again...

Re: OT: jumping over the moon
Some simple evolution could sort that out. Udders that can get pumped up to ginormous proportions. Is methane lighter than air? If not there is the alternative : the same methane powered booster rocket I referred to before could be deployed VTOL style

Re: OT: jumping over the moon
well, that'd also take some evolutionary adaptation of the muscles around the anus.
(you know we're not serious, right?)
