About this listen
They’re not escaping gravity — they’re riding it.
In our first full episode of Time Across the Solar System, we uncover the real reason astronauts appear to float. Discover how orbit works, why the International Space Station is constantly “falling forever,” and what weightlessness truly feels like.
This episode connects directly with our mission at tatssp.com — an educational web project making planetary science personal, visual, and engaging.
At the site, you can explore interactive tools that show how time, days, and years work differently on every world, calculate your age on other planets, and dive into classroom-ready lessons backed by NASA and JPL data.
✨ Highlights
• The truth behind “zero gravity” — what scientists really call microgravity
• How orbit balances gravity and motion in perfect harmony
• The strange physics of floating water, fire, and even tears in space
• How astronauts turn science into play — from floating candy to spherical flames
