In this note, we present a pedagogical illustration of peculiar properties ofmotion in the vicinity and inside black holes. We discuss how a momentaryimpulse can modify the lifetime of an object radially falling into aSchwarzschild black hole down to singularity. The well known upper limit for aproper time spent within a horizon, in fact, requires an infinitely powerfulkick. We calculate the proper time interval (perceived as personal lifetime ofa falling observer) till the contact with the singularity, as well as the timeinterval in the Lema\^itre frame (which reflects how far into the future of theouter world a falling observer can look), for different values of the kickreceived by the falling body. We discuss the ideal strategy to increase bothtime intervals by the engine with a finite power.  This example is suitable for university seminars for undergraduate studentsspecializing in General Relativity and related astrophysical subjects.

How to delay death and look further into the future if you fall into a black hole
