[replyThis is not what I’m asking… already asked this question a while ago and got the answer. I’m taking about a straw on the end of a smokestack that would extend into space.
could it work?
As the exhaust rises it would become cold, dense, and heavy. As I explained, the weight would be too much to escape gravity. If the air could be kept warm it would certainly rise to the top of the straw and escape.[/reply]
Oh I get your answer now… I thought you were answering something else…
The space next to Earth is already polluted with massive amounts of man-made orbital debris. It all does not decay into a re-entry trajectory and burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere, but some of it does (spent rocket bodies falling into farmer’s fields, old satellites that were in LEO, old space stations, etc.). The pieces that can be tracked are cataloged and watched to ensure that they do not collide (conjunction) with active satellites/space stations.
All we need to do is move Earth closer to a Black Hole and then we can just launch everything up and let it get sucked into the black hole just like our own personal garbage disposal. Boom! Problem solved, suckaz!!!
