One can be simultaneously on earth, and in space. In fact we all are
But I'm just arguing that while orbiting earth and being within the Earth's atmosphere, it's pretty much still on Earth. Just like you're still at home even if you're at the on the yard or even just outside the gate picking up mail from the mailbox. Looking at it from distance, it really doesn't make difference
I'm also orbiting the sun, ergo, I am a planet
It's not like citizenship you don't get to be a planet just because your mom is.
Look, I won't go down without a fight like pluto did
Pussy ass Pluto.
Pluto, is a planet!
But you are also spinning around (with) the earth, so wouldn't that make you a moon?
Momma always told me to 'aim for a planet, even if you miss you'll still be a moon'
Plus you've got nippes so you can be milked.
Look at Mr "hasn't cleared his orbit" over here getting all up in Plutos face. Neptune is being real quiet right now.
You're part of a planet for sure :)
