Why is there no gravity on space?

Gravity needs an object with mass to conduct a gravitational pull. As long as there is nothing with mass around, there will be no gravity. Naturally, objects in space that do indeed conduct gravity will pull another object towards it but not into it, but into an orbit around the original object. By the way, just to blow your mind if you had never considered this thought before, there is no 'right-side up' in space because there is no gravity. Only when you have a gravitational pull can you interpret which way is 'up' of 'down.' This is because there is nothing to compare your position with. Cool, huh? Because space is a vaccuum...awesome.

There IS gravity in space. There is gravity everywhere. Sometimes, though, you are either so far away from any mass or in a 'free fall' condition that you don't NOTICE the gravity in any meaningful way.
