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?)

Anything you do in space will alter the Earth’s orbit by some amount. But unless you strip mine an small planet out there, you won’t get enough material for the change to matter.
I guess it could alter earths orbit when you reach a mining contingency that isn’t comparable 0 to Earths Mass of 5,9722x1024kg
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.”

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.
