Negligible.
The combined mass of everything we've ever sent into space, comes noway near the mass of the earth or the moon. Plus they are all acting with their own gravity in different directions, so the combined resultant forces are probably near zero.
If supposedly they can all be grouped into a single mass, even then it will barely have an effect even close to that of the moon.

the effect would be almost nothing. we barely send anything up and right off of earth, much of what we send up stays in orbit around earth or even falls back down. and it is a very small percentage of the mass of earth to begin with.
plus every day we gain mass from tiny meteoroid impacts and other space particles colliding with the earth.

This is the mass of the Earth.
Mass: 5.9736Ã1024 kg
Do you thing a few thousand space ships of a few million kilograms each would matter.
Here is what one billion kilograms of mass are as a percentage of the over all mass.
1,000,000,000/6 X10^ 2424 = .0000000001 %

Undetectable. The Earth is some trillion, trillion, trillion tons. The material we've sent into space is a subatomic particle by comparison.

Very good question. The effect would be either good or bad. No one is sure as we send mass to space. I think you should send this question to nasa.
