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?)
Short answer is probably likely:Humans are pumping out so much groundwater that it’s changing Earth’s tilt> “Earth’s rotational pole actually changes a lot,” Ki-Weon Seo, a geophysicist at Seoul National University who led the study, said in a statement. “Our study shows that among climate-related causes, the redistribution of groundwater actually has the largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole.”Side note:

I wouldn’t say likely without some revolutionary new propulsion device. We can pump water out of the ground fairly easily but transporting material through space and then landing on the planet is still in science fiction territory.
Overthinking. Just mine a bunch of iron, or gold, or whatever you can get and drop it in big chunks right on the planet. Don’t bother trying to land the stuff. Aim for Mar A Lago. Then drive in and surface mine the payload.
oh derp
thanks for commenting! Reading the post again my initial answer is real stupid😬
Well that sounds like an inconvenient truth that we should ignore for 100 years until it becomes a seemingly insurmountable problem so we can just shrug our shoulders and say there is nothing that can be done.
