  If it’s summer, and you’re far enough north, you just have to stand still.

    The trick is traveling between the arctic and antarctic quickly enough on each equinox.

  I was going to say you could put a satellite between earth and the sun and float it there, constantly being in daylight, but i suppose you could just launch a satellite around the sun at that point.

  Just go farther towards the pole that currently has summer. After a certain point a rock on the ground is fast enough to stay in perpetual sunlight. (At least until summer is over.)

  At around 60° north or south, the required speed slows to a little over 1,600 mph, still over 1,000 mph.

  Wat?

    Fuck. Would edit, but I will leave in my egregious mistake. 1600 Kilometres per hour is around about 1,000 miles per hour.

      Ah. Yeah, could have guessed that. Thanks though.
