If you jumped on an object of this size, you would launch yourself into space.

If you were standing, carefully, on it's surface and thru a golfball just so, you could likely put the golfball into orbit. (Actually, considering it's non-sphyrical shape, it might be kind of tough).

Twenty-two miles would yield a negligible gravity. You could probably put a golf ball in orbit (assuming you had the proper calculations).

Still a very cool picture all the same.
