Don't take humanity to space.
Take space to humanity.
Every AI company is racing to launch solar-powered data centers into orbit. We ran the numbers and realised it is simpler to just launch the entire planet. One launch. One payload. Everyone is already aboard.

01 · The Problem
For decades, the industry asked the wrong question
Launching things into space is hard — so the entire industry optimised the launching. Nobody questioned the premise.
"How do we launch people into space?" — Aerospace, every year since 1957
This creates enormous engineering challenges:
- Rockets are expensive.
- Payload is strictly limited.
- People keep wanting to come back.
The slippery slope is already happening
AI companies have discovered that space is the perfect place for solar-powered data centers. So first we launch data centers. Then the factories that maintain them. Then the people who run the factories. Then housing for the people…
So we asked the obvious question
At what point do we admit we are just rebuilding Earth in orbit — one expensive launch at a time? Why ship 10²⁴ kilograms of Earth piecemeal when the fully-assembled product already exists, fully populated, with working gravity?
02 · The Solution
Instead of launching billions of objects into space, one at a time, forever…
Launch one object.
Earth.
Attach engines to the one you already have.
How it works
Three steps to a space-first planet
Our engineering roadmap, in full. There is no step four.
Increase throttle
Apply thrust. Begin gradually — the crew has not been briefed — then commit fully once a stable departure trajectory is achieved.
Congratulations
Earth is now in space. The product ships itself, with itself, as itself. No further action is required from you.
Why Launch Earth?
Every benefit of going to space, minus the going
Six reasons the entire planet should relocate. Each one is, on reflection, difficult to argue with.
Zero Travel Time
Going to orbit currently takes hours of preparation, launch, and ascent. With Launch Earth™, orbit comes to you. You are, at this moment, already in transit.
0 ms latencySustainable Transportation
No more rocket launches. No more spaceports. Every destination is already aboard the vehicle. Net emissions from commuting to space: zero.*Boosters sold separately.
Carbon-neutral*Solar-Powered AI
Unlimited sunlight. No atmospheric interference. No weather. Infinite green compute, in perpetuity.*Assuming the Sun remains nearby.
AI-nativeNo More Border Control
The entire planet is now international waters. No customs. No passports. No queues. Immigration: solved, retroactively, for everyone.
Zero frictionClimate Solution
Too hot? Move slightly farther from the Sun. Too cold? Move slightly closer. A planetary thermostat with a single, intuitive control.
Net-zero°Mars Colonization
Why spend trillions moving eight people to Mars… when you can simply bring Earth to Mars, park alongside, and wave?

Spaceship Earth — live flight telemetry
Earth is already moving at roughly 29.78 km/s. These numbers are genuinely live — real orbital mechanics, your real latitude, real solar input. We are simply the first to label it a launch.

We asked a different question
Every major AI company is talking about orbital compute. So we asked: what if the compute didn't orbit Earth… because Earth orbited the compute? AI-native infrastructure. Planet-scale. Literally.

Flight plan
From whitepaper to a new star
A fully-costed, strictly sequential roadmap. The early milestones are quarterly. The later ones are load-bearing.
Phase 01Fundingthe next few years
- 2027
Whitepaper published. Reassuringly long. Mostly diagrams.
- 2028
Seed round. First Chief Planet Officer hired.
- 2029
Series A. Prototype Earth Engine static-fired (results encouraging; perimeter fence relocated).
Phase 02Ignitionthis century
- +10 yrs
"Temporary" boosters bolted to every major tectonic plate.
- +40 yrs
The Earth Engine array online: 10,000 planetary thrusters spanning the equator.
- +60 yrs
Planetary rotation paused for final installation. We apologise for the disruption to sunrise.
Phase 03Departurethe coming millennia
- +2,500 yrs
Earth breaks solar orbit and begins to wander. The Moon is towed alongside, exactly as promised.
- +100,000 yrs
Clear of the outer planets. All time zones permanently abolished — one world, one clock.
Phase 04The Long Nightdeep time
- ~5 billion yrs
The Sun swells into a red giant and begins to die. Our founding thesis is, at last, vindicated. Full throttle on the Earth Engines.
Phase 05Arrivalone day
- +2,500 yrs
Earth settles into orbit around a new, younger star. Crew may now disembark. (They will not.) Series B closes.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Isn't Earth already in space?
That's legacy thinking. Earth is merely located in space. We intend to make it space-first — a meaningful and well-funded distinction.
What about gravity?
We're keeping it. Internal testing shows it is one of our strongest user-retention features. Users who attempt to leave are returned automatically.
How much thrust is required?
Our engineering team has assured us that it is "a lot." We are confident this estimate will be refined as we approach the Series A.
Won't this affect the Moon?
The Moon is invited. It has followed us this far; we see no reason to leave it behind now.
Is this technically feasible?
We prefer the term pre-inevitable. Feasibility is a roadmap item, currently scheduled between the Seed round and the boosters.
Can I cancel my participation?
Cancellation is available to any user who can independently reach escape velocity (11.2 km/s). No partial refunds are issued for partial planets.
What data do you collect?
Your coordinates, your trajectory, and your continued presence aboard the vessel. As all 8.2 billion users are physically located on the product, opt-out is not currently supported.
Vision
History tends to answer the same way
The Wright brothers didn't ask whether humans belonged in the sky. They built airplanes. Today, people ask whether Earth belongs in space. We believe history will answer the same way.
Our mission
Other companies dream of making humanity multiplanetary. We dream of making planets multipurpose.
Boarding

You are already aboard — this simply gets it on record. We'll issue your pass and notify you as the Earth Engines come online.
