What about Bogdan, who was catapulted into space in 1377 in a freak trebuchet accident which was never recorded?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

that would be the first time not all of humanity was on earth

[–] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You mean you don't think he's still out there?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago

no, he was found by aliens and respectfully returned in 1792

[–] gon@lemm.ee 114 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Holy shit.

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

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

The loser has to go to space.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Oh no I'll 'accidentally' lose and finally be free from this world.

Being born after 2000 should be illegal

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

As a fellow old person, former millennial, I agree.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have... and by way longer than I want to admit.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you like pedantry, people have definitely flown in vehicles and even jumped.

[–] can_you_change_your_username@fedia.io 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I like pedantry but want to go the other way. The ISS orbits in the thermosphere, still inside Earth's atmosphere. I say that you haven't really left Earth until you exit the atmosphere.

Well, technically speaking, we all are in space.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We are all passengers on a generational space vessel.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (7 children)

We need a better navigator, though. We keep going around in circles.

It’s Tim Curry in the only place safe from Capitalism.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Hmm, I think this logic kinda fails because if astronauts are "not on earth", then neither are air travelers.

Astronauts orbiting earth are just couple kilometers higher altitude

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 88 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Are you saying that people jumping ARE on earth? Because I disagree.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

We already have a definition for this, the Karman line.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Unless you define "on earth" to be "below the Kármán line. The Earth's atmosphere is probably to be considered part of the planet, else gas planet like Jupiter get difficult to talk about consistently. Atmospheres don't have a proper "cutoff", they just get thinner and thinner until they gradually become insignificant, so some cutoff is going to have to be arbitrarily defined to make the distinction useful.

Let's make some artificial rule like you need to be not on earth for 48 hours to be not on earth or something ...

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can be at rest in your own reference frame without falling to earth?

Spent a moment thinking about this and I think there's an implied definition for what "on earth" means that we intuitively accept but don't ever really need to state.

If your projected free-fall trajectory both forward and backward in time intersects with the surface of the earth then you are "on earth".

Standing on the ground? Intersects twice. Thrown rock? Intersects twice. Person in an airplane? Intersects twice. ISS? No intersection. Incoming impact meteor? One intersection.

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

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

China will still have an operational station. Probably.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 5 days ago

Cool! I had no idea that Tiangong space station was a thing.

Not true if you take into account all the kids jumping at any given moment.

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

gotta keep someone up there to watch space just in case it gets the wrong idea

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Well, someone needs to keep the lights on in the ISS....

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pssh, those are only the humans we know of.
