If a spaceship went into space from the earth did the spaceship move away from the earth or did the earth move away from the spaceship?

Both would probably move away from each other, because the earth moves too.

Are ailens in space?
yes they are in there spaceship watching our every move
Why can a spaceship move away from Earth?
The force the rocket uses is stronger or equal to the rocket's mass, so it can push it in the opposite direction of the Earth's gravitational pull.
How is the force of earths gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
When on Earth, you can escape if you move away from the Earth at the "escape" speed. Gravity will slow you down and you will reach zero speed at an infinite distance.
What do Kepler's laws have to do with space travel today?
-- If you want to send a space ship from the earth to, let's say, Mars, you need to know how Mars is going to move, so that you know what kind of transfer orbit to put the space ship into, and to be sure that Mars will be there when the ship gets there. Kepler's laws tell you how Mars moves. -- If you want to send a space ship from the earth to, let's say, Mars, you need to know how it will move once it leaves the earth and its rockets shut down. Kepler's laws tell you how the space ship is going to move. -- If an astronaut wants to put on his space suit, step out of the Shuttle, and take a little space-walk around, he'll want to know how HE will move once he's outside, so that he can be sure not to float too far away from the Shuttle. Kepler's laws tell how HE will move in his orbit around the earth.
How far does the moon move away from the Earth in on year?
About 1 second away every 50,000 years

What does newton's first law predict for the motion of the motion of a spaceship in outer space assuming that is its means of propulsion is shut off?
The spaceship will move in a straight line at constant speed.
How do you tie up spaceship in space?
Well usually gravity holds it down such as orbit, or it just stays in space. In space there are not any forces acting then it will not move if the rocket is not travelling.
Does earth move in space?
Yes.
How do the earth move in space?
the gravity moves the Earth in a circle
If you were in a vehicle that could fly in air and in space could it fly slowly into space. The further you are from earth the less of a gravitational pull there is on you so I would say yes?
The reason rockets fly fast is to achieve orbital velocity. You could move howevery slowly you want and reach space. Gravity does weaken as you move away from earth but you would have to move very very far away before you would experience weightlessness if you are not in orbit.
Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?
It decreases as you move away from Earth.
How does atmospheric pressure change as you move away from the surface of earth?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface.
What force keeps the earth in its orbit and stops it from flying off into space?
gravity pulls the earth into position so it doesn't move away and gravity is what holds us down onto the earth as well.
Can you see the earth move from outer space?
yes
