How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?

Astronauts in space experience microgravity, where they are in a state of continuous free fall around the Earth. This creates the sensation of weightlessness. They do not completely overcome gravity, but rather experience an environment where the effects of gravity are significantly reduced due to the spacecraft's orbital motion.
