The most economic way to stay in space for more than just a few minutes is to provide enough tangential velocity to a spacecraft that allows it to "fall" around the Earth, or moon or Mars.
Since the spacecraft and everything (everyone) inside of it is in a state of freefall, there is little to no apparent gravity.

When are astronauts in space weightless?
i like turtles
Are austronaughts really weightless in space?
Yes, but they do have the same mass. Weight is based off the effect of gravity pulling something down, because there is no gravity in space astronauts are weightless.
What is one thing in space that weighs 2000 lbs?
Nothing. In space, things will be weightless.
Why do astronauts feel weightless in a space shuttle?
Because of gravity
What happens when your in space?
In space, you experience microgravity, which means you feel weightless. Without gravity, you float around and objects don't fall to the ground. The lack of air and extreme temperatures can also affect how your body functions.
can a weightless body have inertia?
Yes, a weightless body can still have inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and it is determined by the mass of an object rather than its weight. Even if a body has no weight due to being weightless in space, it will still have inertia based on its mass.
Is your pee weightless in space?
Yes.
What is the difference between a truly weightless object and a obect that is weightless because it is free fall?
A truly weightless object experiences no gravitational force, such as an object in deep space far from any massive body. An object that is weightless due to free fall is still under the influence of gravity but is in a state of free fall where the force of gravity and the acceleration of the object cancel out, making it feel weightless.
When are astronauts in space weightless?

Are astronauts in a space shuttle weightless?
yes there are
Why does an astronaut become weightless in space?
Yes
When in space are you weightless?
Not exactly. In space, u lose a % amount of weight.
Why do astronaut feel weightless in space?
They actually are weightless, due to the fact there is no gravity in space. However a sky-diver would say he/she feels weightless, but they are experiencing free-fall.
What is a space shuttle like in space?
Technically, as an astronaut is weightless in space, so should a space shuttle!
Does an astronaut have mass on the space shuttle if its weightless?
yes
Are austronaughts really weightless in space?
Yes, but they do have the same mass. Weight is based off the effect of gravity pulling something down, because there is no gravity in space astronauts are weightless.
Why doesn't the moon fall down?
because it is in space and every thing in space is weightless.
