Things that 'stay' in space are in orbit round something. This means that they are actually falling!
For instance if you throw a ball up it will fall back down. Now throw it up and away from you, it will go up and then come down but its path is a curve. The harder/faster you throw it the longer that curve.
If it were possible to remove the air from around Earth (which slows things down) and you could throw something fast enough, then the curve of its path would match the curve of the earth, when this happens the object you throw will orbit the Earth - it will stay up!
On Earth (in its atmosphere) you can never get something into orbit because the air slows the thing you throw down, which is why you have to launch the object up outside the atmosphere (into space) to get it to orbit. The launch rocket first goes UP then tilts over to accelerate the space ship to go round the Earth fast enough for it to stay in space.
The space ship stays in space BY FALLING but CONTINUOUSLY MISSING the earth as to falls due to its forward momentum.

When did Shannon Lucid Set her record for longest stay in space?
Shannon Lucid set the U.S. record for longest stay in space in 1996
Things in space that start with the letter a?
Asteroids, astronauts, and auroras are examples of things in space that start with the letter "a."
How long does a shuttle stay in space?
The duration that a shuttle stays in space can vary depending on its mission objectives. Some space shuttles may stay in space for a few days to a couple of weeks, while others, like the International Space Station, can have longer missions lasting several months.
What are some things named after things in outer space?
Some things named after things in outer space include comets, asteroids, constellations, galaxies, and nebulae. Additionally, there are space missions, spacecraft, stars, and planets named after various celestial objects.
Why is most space exploration accomplished spacecraft that do not have crews on board?
It is also cheaper in many ways, since a human crew needs many things to stay alive including food, water, air, and bathroom and sleeping facilities. All of these require making a spacecraft bigger and heavier and therefore harder to get into space. You also do not have to have a return trip for an unmanned probe. A probe can be made to stay in space or on another planet and collect data until it stops working.
What are the things required to go into outer space?
Energy to get there - and ALL the requirements of survival to stay there.
Why do things stay where they are?
things stay where they are by no force acting on it
How much time the people can stay in space?
People can stay in space as long as they have plenty of oxygen, food and water!
How long does space probe stay at space?
one year
Can things set on fire in space?
Things can not be set on fire in space because there is no oxygen in space.
Does your weight stay the same in space?
no
How long do comets stay in space for?
A comet will stay in space until its orbit brings its withing the gravity well of another body.
What good will school lockers help children?
School lockers help children stay organized, while giving them a personal and private space to keep their things.
The Space Station is different than a space shuttle and a space probe but how?
The International Space Station was assembled in space and is designed to stay there. It is meant as a place of research and as a place for astronauts to stay in space. A space shuttle is a vehicle that can lauch from Earth into space and then return, something a space station cannot do. Space shuttles transport people and equipment to and from space.
How do planets stay in space with out falling?
because there is no gravitey in space so that can flote
Why can things float in space?
there is no gravity in space
