    No one has gone far enough from earth to not be influenced by its gravity. Therefore anyone who has jumped into the air has been off the earth.

      Nothing is far enough from Earth to not be influenced by it’s gravity, since gravitational interaction has infinite range. Even though it weakens over distance, it never reaches zero

        Technically correct but there is a reason why people talk about a body’s sphere of influence.
