arh! Although I may be able to weasel my way out of this mess with word lawyering. I can say that the moon isn't surrounded by air so can't be said to be in mid-air.
Right but it is held up by an invisible thread attached to the firmament.
Note that I replaced "mid-air" by "above the Earth" for exactly that reason.
Of course, I once got a (now banned) creationists to deny that an apple attracts the Earth with the same force with which the Earth attracts said apple.
