Wouldn’t be a bad idea to do space mining to create products on earth on the long therm?
Does not hose minerals have weight and could change earth net mass and therefore it’s orbit?
Could also impacts on landing alter earth orbit?
This question arraised when reading this other question about mining in space from in this sub: [https://lemmy.world/post/24125154](What is currently holding us back from mining in space?)
I guess it could alter earths orbit when you reach a mining contingency that isn’t comparable 0 to Earths Mass of 5,9722x1024kg
Makes me wonder how much mass we’ve lost to space with all of the shit we’ve flown to and let in space.
