[FPSPACE] NASA PAO living in the past?

[LARRY KLAES]

I thought you were commenting on their comment about the astronauts
experiencing Earth's gravity, since they are really just falling around the
planet and haven't stopped experiencing our planet's mass, just in another
form.

And if you really want to get picky, you can even comment on the Earth's
atmosphere comment, as there is some air up at the ISS level, just not
as much as down here.
