Quantum Teleporter

 is one of the items that could be bought at the Emendation Station 3500, at $2000 each.

Press "Q" to use. It teleports you to the surface near the Propellent Vendor 12000, but may additionally launch you at high speed up or down (may cause 5 to 9 fall damage, or shoot you down a mine shaft if it happened to be in the way). It can only be used when you are on a solid floor (i.e. not digging or flying). It can be used while moving, and doing so will cancel any horizontal momentum of the pod.

There is a known bug that teleporting from a great depth may consistently crash the game on some devices.

Quantum Teleporter's fling ignores the mass of the mining pod; it can shoot you up into the air just as fast even if the pod is so weighed down by minerals it cannot fly normally.
