  Hi,
  
  well, that’s not completely true. If you’re far away from big objects (planets/moons) there is hardly any gravity.
  
  In the ISS, which is still really close to earth, you still have over 90% of the gravity like here on earth, but because the ISS goes really fast, the what we call centrifugal forces make the astronauts fly away as fast as teh fall towards the earth, so it’s just like there is no gravity.

  Tom: Yes, I knew it, because that’s the reason that the Moon is “kept” by the Earth – and the Earth by the Sun etc…
