Not impressed. Bezos' & Branson's endeavors are not much more than tourist traps.

You can experience weightlessness on the "Vomit Comet" without ever leaving the Earth's atmosphere. But I think I know what you mean, that if you aren't orbiting, you really aren't "in space", and I agree with you.

This could lead to some weird technical discussions that other engineers have had with me over the years, basically all of whom fail to truly grasp Newtonian physics. But again, I see what you are saying. If your space ship was in deep space, so far away from anything of significant mass as to impart a significant gravitational effect, you still have not escaped gravity altogether. The mass of you and the mass of your spaceship will be exerting gravitational forces on each other at all times. |
