When you see astronauts in space, they are in orbit. A person or object in orbit is essentially in freefall. If you have gone on a roller coast or gone bungee jumping, you will have found that you feel weightless when you are in freefall. It is the same case with astronauts in orbit. Another way of seeing it is that the astronauts are falling at the same rate that the spacecraft is.
