Re: A pound of water - in low grav

"The ISS isn't in low grav at all. It's only a few hundred miles up. Gravity up there is only about 10% lower than it is down here."

But the ISS does not meet the equal and opposite pushing back part of the equation that we have down here, so the picture is not quite complete.
