Why is it that when in a space shuttle with no gravity the people in the shuttle move with the shuttle?

The astronauts and the shuttle are in the same inertial frame of reference, and are accelerated to orbit within said frame of reference. Try dribbling a basketball when you're on a bus or train and notice that the ball doesn't go flying back, but rather you can dribble it just fine even though the train / bus is moving. Also, when the shuttle is in orbit, it's not really in a zero-g environment (although it's often called such), but rather a microgravity environment.
