Gravity makes it so no matter where you are, its always feels like its in the same direction. Down. When no gravity is present, then there is no real "Down" or "Up. But the thing is, we are on earth where gravity is present.
So let me do it again. When a person or a projectile is shot off earth at 8 Km/s we will be in orbit. So if we slip off a banana peel and fly at more than:
~8 Km/s away from earth or...
~7 Miles/s away from earth or...
~25,000 Miles/hr away from earth.
We will of fallen off the face of the earth.
Why?
If we do not approach these speeds, we will fall back on to earth. If those speeds are met, then we will not fall back to earth. If you don't fall back in earth, then you must of fallen off the face of the earth.
Video coming soon.
Edit: Heres the video: *Removed*

Ok, I'm going to do more research and get back. Even if this did start as a pointless debate, it could turn into something fun/humorous, like with the video. Also, in a debate which takes two people, someone gernerally takes the opposition to an idea, even knowing/believing differantly then the point they are trying to prove. That being said, I know, even more so by your cool video, that down and in are the same thing, but I'm still going to try to question it and make you think more about it from a differant angle because that is the beauty of debating.
And Blue, that is basicly what he already said.......
You can run....but you'll just die tired.
