[QUOTE="Tanj, post: 76011675, member: 396712"] Oh my. -------- We have actually already been moving the Earth from its orbit. Every time a probe leaves the Earth for another planet, it imparts a small impulse to the Earth in the opposite direction, similar to the recoil of a gun. Luckily for us — but unfortunately for the purpose of moving the Earth — this effect is incredibly small. SpaceX's [URL='https://www.spacex.com/falcon-heavy']Falcon Heavy[/URL] is the most capable launch vehicle today. We would need [B]300 billion billion launches at full capacity[/B] in order to achieve the orbit change to Mars. The material making up all these rockets would be equivalent to [B]85% of the Earth, leaving only 15% of Earth in Mars orbit.[/B] ------ Bags what's left of the beach front. [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Liberation_of_Earth"]The Liberation of Earth - Wikipedia[/URL] In that story one of the battles carves off a chunk of the planet leaving it somewhat pear shaped.
