Flying

This is actually true in many ways. This is how stable orbits are achieved, by “throwing” the orbiter at the planet at such speed that gravity keeps it from hurling off in to space, but it’s path would have it miss the planet and instead continue to “fall.” The “0G” seen on a space station is actually micro gravity. The reason objects float isn’t because there is no gravity, at the distance most man made objects orbit earth, earths gravity is still roughly 90% in effect. The space station is quite literally falling, like being on an amusement park free fall ride or jumping out of a plane- the exceptions being that it is in vacuum so there is no air and very little if any friction, and because of the curve of the earth and the speed the station travels, it will keep falling as earth pulls it down but it “misses.” So perhaps not 100% true of flight in a practical sense, it is certainly true of orbiting most any planet!

I love Douglas Adams so much
