FIRST CREATURES EVER!!!!!!!!
Would you prefer "life forms". I think some early earth rocks were blasted into space a few billion years ago. Almost as long ago as Texas A&M having a top tier football program.
Fuck, you're stupid. :lol: :lol: :lol:

you would think they would at least acknowledge the death of the man that traveled 4.5 billion light years away from earth.

You will be comforted to know Texas A&M hasn't improved their Math Department since you were there. What's $28,031/day times 8 years to Not coach there?

Pretty sure Capt. Kirk died in the 7th movie.

Going to the moon doesn't mean you've left Earth's gravity. Earth's gravity is what's holding the moon where it is.

I will be happy to explain how all of this works, Ricky. How much do I need to dumb this down for a Canadian? I think the closest Canada came to having it's own space program was building NASA's Space Urinal Ejection system.

Actually it’s a combination of the earths gravity and the moons gravity. I don’t have the exact numbers in my memory but the proximately after 2/3 of the way from the Earth to the moon the moons gravity has more effect.

Yes, it's a combination of the two. But Earth's gravity is still there and affecting the moon.
Also, keep in mind that Einstein proved that gravity is infinite.

True. However using your logic the gravity from Proxima Centauri affects us as well as a gravity from Earth however I dare you to prove that. Cause effect from such a distant object is reduced to a negligible amount.

So, at what point do you consider the earth's gravity negligible to the point that it is non existent? how far out?

It's not my logic. It's Albert Einstein's. And he already proved it.

Since were talking about the Earth and the moon, add say at the point between them when it falls towards the moon instead of the Earth. Like I said in the earlier post I know it exists but I don’t have the exact number.

8 hours into the 3rd day of the Apollo 8 mission vs what was left to enter lunar orbit. Or 200,000 of the total distance of 266,000 miles, whatever that percentage is. Say 3/4.

We have a motion to overrule physics and set an arbitrary end of earth's gravity at around 200,000 miles or roughly 3/4 the distance to the moon. Those in favor?

Is gravity a push or a pull?

Yes, it's a combination of the two. But Earth's gravity is still there and affecting the moon.
Also, keep in mind that Einstein proved that gravity is infinite.
True. However using your logic the gravity from Proxima Centauri affects us as well as a gravity from Earth however I dare you to prove that. Cause effect from such a distant object is reduced to a negligible amount.
So, at what point do you consider the earth's gravity negligible to the point that it is non existent? how far out?
Since were talking about the Earth and the moon, add say at the point between them when it falls towards the moon instead of the Earth. Like I said in the earlier post I know it exists but I don’t have the exact number.
8 hours into the 3rd day of the Apollo 8 mission vs what was left to enter lunar orbit. Or 200,000 of the total distance of 266,000 miles, whatever that percentage is. Say 3/4.
We have a motion to overrule physics and set an arbitrary end of earth's gravity at around 200,000 miles or roughly 3/4 the distance to the moon. Those in favor?
