I'll take a stab at the astronaut question. The reason they are "weightless" is that they are falling toward earth at the same rate as the spacecraft, therefore weight is not "sensed". At distances very far from a large mass ie inter-planetary or inter-stellar, they would be weightless as long as they were not accelerating.

Mr A:

Thanks for that very detailed response. I must take an alternate view point.
If I may summarize my position: There is no gravity. The earth sucks. (as does this discussion and this market.)

Thank you and have a nice day.

Re:<<1- the closer a body is to another body, the greater the gravitational pull. True or false?>>TRUE ! at least in male/female relationships. But I'm sure it applies in space too. Maybe that's why the stock went down. TOO MUCH GRAVITY. or TOO MANY ENGINEERS. You know the old axiom about too many cooks and what happens to the soup.
