since the ice at the poles are melting, can we send some to other planet (example: mars or moon) so our sea water level will not increase yearly? what will happen to the planet? i need reasons.

the weight of the water may be too much for a shuttle to take up enough to make a difference

Hey man, you don't have to bottle it and send it that far away.
Just ruin it through a machine (the salt water) and turn it into fresh water and wet down all those really dry places in Africa and the Middle East that are hurting for water. there is even a desert or two here in the USA that could use the extra water. All we need is for someone to spring for maybe 100 to 200 desalinization plants and it is a done deal. Save all that rocket fuel you were going to burn up to make gas for the Mo Peds we will all be driving in the next ten years or so.

Better yet, why don't we send out to the Kuiper Belt for some of the smaller icy objects (not Pluto or Xena) and drop them off at the poles to help refreeze the place and counterbalance global warmer. Why send off a resource when we could bring more to us?

Don't be dumb, that costs thousands of dollars per pound.
The easiest and only way is to burn less stuff. Alot less.
And let more trees grow, do you have any idea how long it takes for a rainforest to grow back? Like 200-400 years, and after the soil washes out there's nothing left.

Your idea sounds cost prohibitive to me. Maybe we could just take some chunks of the caps (you realize you're insane, I presume), and transport them to say, the Baltic Sea, the Sahara Desert, or some place where they'd do more good than harm.

I see they have home schooling where you are from too. It costs about $10,000 a pound to boost matter into orbit. We will send the water if you pay the shipping costs.

Without a suitable atmosphere the water you transported would evaporate into space.

impossible.. because they have no gravity 9strong engough to hold water... eventually they will become comets..and plus space doesnt have right tempurate to hold water... therefore... water will be gone before it even arrive to planet.. because of the big empty space sucks everything( that have carbon and speifically desgined componds...
