You've seen astronauts floating effortlessly in space, but the truth behind this "weightlessness" is more mind-bending than you think. In a viral post, astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla explains that everything on the International Space Station is actually "falling." He shares a lesson he learned the hard way: that objects don't drop because both the object and the station are in a state of perpetual free fall around the Earth, a concept that dates back to Isaac Newton's thought experiment on orbital

Astronaut Chris Hadfield has highlighted that it is indeed possible for astronauts to become stuck floating in the International Space Station (ISS) if they cannot reach a wall or any solid surface. This situation can occur in the larger modules of the ISS, where the absence of gravitational pull means that without a point of contact, an astronaut could find themselves helplessly drifting. While such incidents are rare, they underscore the importance of spatial awareness and safety protocols in
