Kinda suggests we’re not supposed to leave this planet.

Kinda suggests we need to spin our space vehicles to create centrifugal force, a form of artificial gravity.

But where the space station roams, some 220miles up, the force of gravity is still about 90 percent what it is here on the surface.

Doing the arithmetic, we find that a person who weighs 150 pounds on Earth will weigh 133 pounds on the space station...So how do we understand what we see with our own eyes? The astronauts definitely look like they are weightless. Or are the conspiracy theory crew right after all and it’s all a fake? No, definitely not. Believe it or not, the explanation is that both the space station and the astronauts are literally falling. If you stopped the space station in its orbit or, if it was just lifted straight up 400 kilometers right after it was originally built, it would fall straight back to Earth -- More https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/gravity-on-space-stations-and-free-fall/
