The announcer at the launch scene said weightlessness begins at 200,000 feet.

A free fall (weightlessness) could even be on an elevator here at the surface. However, it would be a rather short duration. :-)

How does thid announcer think the Moon stays in orbit? LOLOL!

I just thought perhaps the pull of Saturn might balance the pull of earth's gravity at 200,000 feet.
