would this actually work?

bu,mp

No.

why not? if u have no knowledge of sciense, don't bother to answer.

Earth is heavy; would take more raw materials than are available on earth to build the rockets etc.

So no, not possible.

Using rockets, never.
But technically yes given a powerful enough source of mobility you could alter earth orbit. More than likely though, you'd wind up destroying the planet.

Diamonds are my favorite metal too

What we need is every robot on earth to vent their exhaust into the sky at the same time, that'll push us away perfectly.

USE A GIANT SOLAR SAIL INSTEAD.

That was a good episode.

The math to calculate the force and trajectory required isn't all that difficult.

>diamond
>metal
how retarded can someone get

You took cheap bait

Asteroids and shit tho man

You will never be able to stop earth spinning long enough to attach or pull anything with out killing ourselves.

Earth is so heavy anything you attached to it would end up crashing back down into its massive gravity

Or whatever anchor you have attached to earth would just rip away, either way you are not moving Earth.

And lastly, you are also playing tug-o-war with the Sun, which if you knew anything about space or physics, would be impossible to win.

cables and rockets, definitely not.

a combination of nukes and absolutely gigantic blast shields, maybe.
MAYBE.

I wanted to fap, didn't have time to give you the "sciense", but ok.
First of all, the globe isn't only getting warmer, the more accurate term is climate change. So changing our orbit would not help at all. If anything, we'd be even more fucked. And second, the amount of thrust required to alter the trajectory of earth is very huge, so we would need an impossible, not to mention unpractical amount of rocket engines to create forces like that. And of course, there's the problem that earth is in fact, as you should know, spinning, which means that the rockets in the picture would pull earth all over the place.

So yeah, no.

Yeah because nothing exits solar orbit. Lol. Voyager 1&2 so far.

Unless you can produce more power than the massive star we are currently locked in with, then no, not even nukes would work.

Not even all the nukes we could muster.

Yeah because nothing exits solar orbit. Lol. Voyager 1&2 so far.

>unless yes then no
someone knows how to win arguments

while all this is true, I would argue the sun point. Earth is ALREADY playing tug-of-war with the Sun and with like, heavy explosions or another big gravitational mass we could tug along with it.

just we would definitely kill all life on the planet

That's not true at all. The sun's power is NOT related to it's gravity.

what are you a moron?

are you comparing the mass of the Earth and the mass of a small satellite probe?

One of the biggest problems about building large rockest and ships is that at some point you would never be able to get them off the surface.

Thats why we have to build space stations in space with small payload rockets, piece by piece.

So little things we can shoot farther, you cant move Earth from the suns gravitational force

First of all you have to accelerate prograde and not radial to effectively increase Earth's orbit. Do your fucking Hohmann's, faggot.

I think you guys are on the same page. he meant "it's implausible to move anything out of solar orbit that is already there, the best we have done is shoot out space probes"

Sure you could. No one poor any limit to the energy we could apply. Just asked if physically possible. Escaping sun orbit doesn't require much energy. Gravity is weak. We're not talking escape velocity from the surface.

As I said, the math is pretty easy actually.

But he said impossible. If you can do it with a probe, then you can do it with a planet. Just takes more energy. But it's still possible given the energy source and a drive that could move planets.

just if the goal is to reduce global warming, it would be more efficient to air condition the entire surface of the earth

No it wouldn't work. Or at least the amount of resources/engineering would be so insane that wouldn't be practical, even a million Saturn Vs wouldn't have the delta v to make much change in the earths orbit. Also what would the cables be made out of? What would they be attached too? Whatever it is it'd be more likely break away from the planet than yank the rest of it along.

Also you would want the thrust to be in the direction of the earths orbit, perpendicular to the sun. Not going streight out from the sun.
And you'd want to do it twice, once to transfer orbits and once to normalize the orbit once you got your desired distance

Maybe, but that's not the question postulated.

Then show us all your calculations? If it's so easy

>Dumb as fuck assholes who don't understand basic science or math.

not only would it work OP, but the globe is actually cooling so we would need those rockets and diamond cables to pull us closer to the sun.

I know this because I work for NASA and have 4 PhDs from Oxford, Harvard, MIT, and Cornell where I studied under both Carl Sagan and Niel Degrasse Tyson. Also studied under Richard Feynman at MIT and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking gay retard

you're trying to make a skyscraper float by attaching baloons
those rockets couldnt even lift the cables

Its gravity too. The thrust youd need to get away from the suns pull is incredible.

I'll show you your mother's twat, since that's easy too

>taking the bait
>calling somebody else retarded

sort of is though if you look at the image to see what "this" refers to

yes it would work

For starters, that's not how you make Earth go further away from the Sun. If you point rockets away from the Sun, you will just make its path more elliptical.
If you want to "pull" Earth away, you need to accelerate it towards the tangent of its elliptic path around the Sun. So basically make it go "forward" if you pretend that the Earth is a spaceship orbiting around the Sun.

Oh, how nice. Richard Feynman even wrote a book on how to build your fleshlight.

Global warming is a myth so even if it was possible it would be stupid as fuck.

Come on, leave OP alone he probably couldn't think right after a long and heavy day of learning in the 3rd Grade

Just research this shit. People already did the math on how much force is needed to move the sun, let alone a planet.

By the way, how the fuck do you think rogue planets occur... Mere gravity interaction between planets sometimes.

We don't know how to make Saturn V rocket engines any more. The companies that made the parts are long gone as have most of the workforce.
The blueprints are stored in several hangars on a desert Air Force base somewhere but they are still paper documents. Remember, the computer on the Eagle was a Z80. So not much in the way of CAD.
The fuels are ecological disasters, the same as the stuff the Russians still use.
All in all, just making the thing is impossible.

you wouldn't use cables you would attach rockets to a large asteroid. It's called a gravity tractor. It would work but it would be slow.

If you have the resources to put that many rockets into orbit just put up a solar shade, thin sheets of Mylar in orbit that would block a small fraction of the suns rays and cool the planet.
Plus side is that this would work even if humans and CO2 aren't causing the warming.
