Why don't satellites crash if gravity is attracting them towards the center of the earth?

Because they are in orbit which means they have enough forward motion to keep them into a state of "Free Fall". A satellite is falling to earth's center due to gravity. But for every inch it falls toward earth, earth move out of it's way by one inch.
