Ok so I just had a crazy idea. If its so difficult to travel long distances through space while still having human interaction, why don't we just turn the entire planet into a spaceship.
Stay with me.
This would obviously take centuries to be ready for let alone prepare for it. But lets say we have technology that can kick us out of the suns orbit, and propel us through space via a planet?
Now the big question is, how do we sustain life on the planet? I say we prepare a grid off interconnected batteries that absorb the energy of our sun and those that we may come in contact with. Those batteries would act as an energy source to create artificial lighting for plant growth and what not.
That would be impressive enough for humanity to pull off.

How drunk or stoned does one have to get to come up with this shit?

Look up some equations for escape velocity, and momentum/inertia. Then look up the estimated weight of the Earth. This question is far too retarded for me to do any math over but i can tell you right now that shit is never going to fucking happen. This is not "oh but when technology gets better" no, this is something that will literally never happen. Its far easier to develop interstellar space travel than it is to develop interstellar space travel, then scale it up to the size of Earth so you can kill off 99% of the plants that give us our required oxygen.
Fuck it, in 1000 years when my cyborg army and I travel through space on our intergalactic spaceship of a planet, I will remember the doubters and engrave your names directly under the feet of my statues.
