Title

xkcd: "Earth-Moon Fire Pole"

Description

“Earth-Moon Fire Pole” began with a hypothetical question: “If there were a kind of a fireman's pole from the Moon down to the Earth, how long would it take to slide all the way from the Moon to the Earth?” In this blog post from the What If? blog, Munroe calculates and analyzes the difficulties a person would face journeying from the moon to the surface of the Earth using a magical fireman pole.
