Another Giant Leap for Mankind?

[evilbutterfly]

If we make a massive move off of Earth it could throw our gravity out of whack, because gravity is determined by an object's mass. Throw gravity out of whack and Earth may go out of orbit. Thus, by getting off of planet we are only quickening Earth inevitable collision with some other celestial body.

Besides, we aren't crashing into the sun any time soon.

Rofl.

You could take all the land in america and fly it off the planet, and it wouldnt make a difference.

Earth's mass lies under the surface!

Hey, it wouldn't take much of a shift in gravity to throw things off. It's a delicate balance, ya know, and it's not even perfect as is. The moon is drifting away a little bit, and it would drift more if our pull was a tiny bit less strong.
