Kinda fucked up tbh
-
When I jump, I am not in earth.
No, you're over Earth.
-
Karman line could be a good limit sure, but I think the orbit still kinda makes sense to include "on the planet".
Say for example if the apartheid baby gets his Mars colony thing going, from Earth's perspective it wouldn't make much difference if a person is standing on Mars surface or on the orbit - we could say that the person is on Mars.
They would be in Mars orbit, but not planetside. "At Mars" might be a middle ground designator.

I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.
It's a bit like saying people in planes don't count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.
Are you saying that people jumping ARE on earth? Because I disagree.
-
Can be at rest in your own reference frame without falling to earth?
Can I define my reference frame any way I want? Because if so, yes. And also no
-
The Moon is not on Earth.
The moon and earth are "on" a shared center of gravity. It just so happens to be inside to earth, so meh, we win.

Space is a priority so we can ignore climate change. Rockets put our many many plane flights worth of pollution, elon musk has done over 30,000 of them (mostly for StarLink). Quite a few ended up just dumping raw pollution and parts into the ocean.
No price is paid but by the environment.

Holy shit.
I've never been alive in a time when every human has been on Earth. That's crazy to think about...

Rockets are launched so infrequently that their effect is negligible compared to other sources of pollution. They're definitely still a problem (debris falling on populated areas is a concern), but the aviation industry burns a rocket launch worth of fuel a few times per minute.

Well, technically speaking, we all are in space.

From your own reference frame, wouldn't earth be falling to you? Because then this'd apply to everyone, always.

They're clearly not "jumping" they're pushing the earth away

By 2030, everyone will most likely be back on Earth again when the ISS gets decommissioned

Also people who live in a basement, or cave, or underground complex of some kind, or who are currently caving, ... they also aren't 'on' Earth, they're 'in the Earth', ... and people currently in submersibles, under the water line, well they're not on the surface, they're in or under the ocean or w/e, by this grammatical level of pedantry.

This planet ain’t big enough for the two of us.
