Balck Holes too soft

Hahahahaha!

Thats a perfect example of an OJ defence

Flood them with BS till they go away!
(much of that is true, but has no bearing on the discussion)

You appear to have said that you now agree that the moon would not fall in if the earth was squeezed into a black hole (which would have an EH roughly the size of a marble, FYI)
I hope then that you would realize that anything in orbit will stay in orbit nearly forever.
Therefore ships that sensibly go into orbit around normal stars, should (with a sane captain) go into orbit around the black hole, and hence not get sucked in

Note that for our purposes, hawking radiation is minimal, since we are talking about a solar mass or higher.

I never said the moon would fall. You can not compare the moon to man made sat.
Yet we all may be wrong to some degree or may have miss-understood some of his statments.

The moon is easily compared to a man-mad sattelite. They both orbit the earth. The only difference is that the sat is smaller, and gets bumped around by gasses & solar wind. they still follow the same rules, and crushing the earth into a black hole would not suck any orbiting body in.

If the "him" you are referring to is S. Hawking, nothing about orbiting a black hole has anything to do with him. It is simple orbital mechanics.
