Surely you're just in free fall. \nWhen the term \"weightless\" is used to describe the condition astronauts \nexperience, this is surely a literary term, rather than a scientific one.\n\nWhy spend the $20.000.000 (or 20,000,000 if that's your custom) you \nmention, when you could achieve that same \"weightlessness\" by jumping \nout of a building (if for a shorter time, of course, and with a riskier \noutcome).\n\nAm I weightless when I jump off a chair?\n\nAre orbiting satellites \"weightless\"?\n\nOr are they just falling down all the time (in a very special way but \nbecause of their weight).\n\nIf a satellite falls down in the special way we call an orbit because \nthe planet's gravity is acting on it's mass, isn't that weight?\n\nSo... wouldn't a \"weightless\" satellite barrel off on a straight line?\n\nSil\n", "attachments": [] }
