How Does Gravity Work in the Vacuum of Space?

This documentary explores gravity, the invisible force that keeps us grounded and holds the planets in their orbits, yet is easy to forget until it vanishes. It explains why astronauts float in space not because gravity is absent but because they are endlessly falling around the Earth. Through clear examples it unpacks one of the most fundamental and misunderstood forces in nature. Approachable and illuminating, it makes deep physics feel intuitive.
