    @fuzzyhenry2048last year Many people are misled by this recap. Some obvious questions:
    -sun won' t die for millions of years. That' s the plot setting.
    -why -where are the moon, and asteroid belts? Moon' s been shattered in case of ripping earth apart. Asteroid belts are not mentioned in the movie but according to the original novel, they had trouble there too.
    -how does earth stop rotating? Thrusters did that before the pushing. It' s called the braking era.
    -how is everybody united? Not really. There are rebellions of course and they are mostly arrested before the pushing. And the sequel (the wondering earth 2) of this movie described more details about what happened before pushing. And in fact, rebellions got a more important role in the novel during the gliding era(earth is traveling) you better find that out in the book by yourself.
    a real issue:
    -moving earth by thrusters is impossible because earth is not a solid steady rock. The earth' s crust can' t handle the distributed forces and will break apart. Building spaceships is more reasonable. This question is addressed by the novel author himself. But this is one of his early fiction (he wrote three-body problems years later) and the idea sounds so cool so everybody just let it be
