Maybe I missed this on the article but if somehow a human is moving at 186,000 miles per second they would also escape earth's gravitational pull (and probabbly the sun's as well) and within a second find themselves just over halfway to the moon and crashing into it a couple of second or two later with enough force for the impact to be seen with the naked eye from earth.
