It's not real-world logic. It's everywhere logic. I've seen atmospheres needing to be maintained when traveling through space in science-fiction. Frankly, I just consider it bad writing if this is ignored. We happily ignore the infinite mass problem of lightspeed, for example, because it needs to be routinely broken in stories. We would, however, be upset if a writer decided that falling from a building suddenly didn't hurt, or if the clouds were drawn as perpetually purple. This is closer to the latter.
So if a writer did this and ignored the implications of throwing the Earth off its axis, basically saying "Hey, fanboys, look at this feat!" my response would probably be "you're a terrible person." Feats should serve the story and circumstances, not the other way around. I don't mind ludicrous feats, I only mind ludicrous writing and plot to produce ludicrous feats.

Now, since you just want a push-off, I'll throw you a bone:
"lol, Surfer"
That is, in fact, the correct answer anyway, even disregarding silly things like the human race's incapacity to survive being jettisoned into space. He'd accomplish it the easiest, or have the best chance at pulling it off.
