minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 days agoOh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/
minus-squareKlear@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·15 days agoRemember that gravity is relative. The earth is accelerating the ISS astronauts same as us, but relative to their inertial system they are weightless. There is no actually there. Relativity is relativity.

Nope, that is not so.
