How do I jump into an asteroid?

By which I mean like viciarg apparently managed.

When I leave the jump tube my speed is so great that I don't see a way of avoiding getting smeared across the nearest wall before I slow down

What a crazy thing to want to do, jump into an asteroid.

but the kind of asteroid viciarg got himself into was a special kind of asteroid with a cave. Not just any asteroid will do.

There is a way to jump directly into the Cave of an Astroid. It is similar to jumping directly into a Station, Carier or Constructor........that is all I'm going to say as a spoiler hint.......

:P

I did it by accident. Took a lot longer to get back out. Never plan to do it again ... certainly not deliberately.

Use maximum reverse thrusters and keep trying till you don't die:D! It is a trial by error thing.

It's surprisingly easy to get in and also out by jumping

I used to do that all the time in ER, not so much in EM, though I imagine the technique is the same. Send me an email if you want pointers.
