Spaceship Earth, although in a closed (tightly-fit covered space) isn't closed. A few years ago, it underwent construction in some areas, but is no longer closed.

From the perspective of the spaceship, it moved away from Earth. However, according to Newton's third law of motion, the Earth also moved away from the spaceship in the opposite direction. This is due to the equal and opposite reaction experienced when thrust is applied for the spaceship to leave Earth's atmosphere.
A spaceship gets out of Earth's gravity by achieving enough velocity through its engines to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth. This is typically done during the launch phase using powerful rockets that provide the necessary thrust to propel the spaceship into space. Once it reaches a certain height and speed, the spaceship can then continue its journey in the absence of Earth's gravity.
The spaceship returns to Earth by firing its engines to slow down and re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. It then navigates through the atmosphere before deploying parachutes to safely land in a designated landing area.
A spaceship orbits around Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This pull creates a centripetal force that keeps the spaceship moving in a curved path around Earth. If the spaceship's speed is just right, it will continue to orbit without being pulled in or flying off into space.
The first spaceship was made in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union. It was the first artificial satellite to be put into orbit around the Earth.
