Hi all out there in packetland. Have read some of the bulls. on baloons.
Archimedes pondered the same problem Three Millennia ago. A body in stable
Earth Orbit is actually in 'Free fall'- it is always falling towards the
centre of the Earth. In fact it misses the Earth because of its sideways
motion - as in Newtons Laws of Motion. As was demonstrated on the Moon a
lead ball and a feather fall at the same rate in a vacume (Vacuum?). As
anyone who is observant will have noticed, objects in an orbiting vehicle
(Even liquids) continue to move in a straight line in the direction they
were originally propelled. A lump of lead in water would neither sink or
float.
