  1. There are now so many frequent rocket launches that it is time to estimate their effect on the earths orbit. Prophecies say there will be a significant shift before 2025 resulting in massive earthquakes. How difficult can it be to calculate this? Force on take off equals reactive force on the earth. The vector will be determined by time and date of take off for each one. Add them all together then plan future take offs to balance out these forces. QED
