Could the earth be used as a spaceship?

Question

Could the earth be used as a spaceship?

Answer 1

I think yes, that's what the earth is now. Earth is in the space and moving all over. The only thing is, due to our limitations we have to lift our self veryhigh from the earth and then after we can see the space.

Answer 2

No, the mass is too big.

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

no, it's course is predetermined

Answer 5

no just no

Answer 6

No. The planet has far too much gravitational pull to break away.The other thing is that if indeed the earth went into space,it would completely disintegrate.I like my earth just where it is.

Answer 7

To the extent that earth's position in its orbit is now included in preparing its atronauts' travel plans, yes.  But, providing enough propulsion power to the earth itself so that it would become the missile wouldn't work for many reasons including its prohibitive size and the danger involved in tampering with its orbital path around the sun (which is its life-giving provider.)

Answer 8

sorry. i dont think so

Answer 9

In a way, Earth is already like one big giant space ship. It is flying through the universe in 3 ways:

It is orbiting the sun, the sun is in turn orbiting around the center of the galaxy, and the galaxy is speeding through the universe. So Earth has been, and will be, traveling through the universe. Earth is actually a pretty fast space ship too.

Earth is orbiting the sun at about 67,000 miles per hour. Sun orbits the center of the galaxy at about 486,000 miles per hour.

The galaxy is speeding through the universe at about 671,080 mph.

So all together, Earth is speeding through the universe at about 1,224,080 miles per hour.

But if you mean making our planet speed to other stars and control it ourselves, then no. There is no way we can break away from our orbit around the galaxy, and we would have to take the sun, and the rest of the solar system with us. There is no way we could possible do that with any technology we could even dream of having.

Answer 10

Only if you strap a MASSIVE hyperdrive to it.And have shield generators covering the Earth to protect it from just about anything harmful.

Answer 11

It basically is already.

If you're asking if we could control its movement through space. No. The forces involved are just way too big.

Answer 12

It already is, but they don't want you to know yet.

Answer 13

That's exactly what she is

and our bodies are our space suits

this may sound strange

what else could it be

we are what we think every thing else is

you want to meet aliens

hello that's us

we are trtravelingt aprx 600,000 mph  while spinning

and the earth is all we have   for ever

we are travling threw space at a very fast spp
