what happens if you start shipping the mass of the earth away from the earth 1 spaceship at a time? the earth LOSES WEIGHT.. this would become an issue as the tons floated away year after year.<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
i don't know about that.
the earth currently gains several thousand tons a year from micro-meteorites [space dust] raining down constantly.
if we shipped the CO2 out slowly enough
any loss in mass would be easily offset,
the impact would be that the growth in mass slowed
