minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·16 hours agoUm acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·54 minutes agoI believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth

That’s what microgravity means.

Nope, that is not so.
