Satan Claws say: If you claim there is no gravity in outer space then how do you explain planets orbiting the Sun? With invisible angels or something?

Nyx say: Any object with mass, has gravity.

And in the vacuum of space, Newtonian physics allows objects to travel quite nicely.

Bill say: The Moon has Gravity. All bodies have Gravity.
Even a small Asteroid has Gravity.

Gordon say: Are you for real? Somehow I doubt it but there's always a chance.
I notice that your writing is ostensibly mimicking the speech of a person with low knowledge, but there are signs that this is deliberate.
Anyway-- Every particle of matter gravitates to or is attracted by every other particle of matter, with a force inversely proportional to the squares of their distances.
Ergo your misconception. There IS gravity in space. But the gravitational force is not physically felt by people who are in objects that are moving across vast distances. When you fall, you experience the same feeling. If you are inside a plane, and the plane aims at the ground with you inside it, you float around like you would in outer space. You would think you are weightless. But actually you are falling. The same thing is happening to astronauts in space. They are in free-fall, but the gravity gradually pulls them downward. So even though a satellite sets course in a straight line, the gravity of the sun or other object pulls it into a curve over the course of millions of kilometers.
The moon is not outer space. The moon is a rock big enough to have gravity of its own, just like the earth is a rock with gravity. satellites orbit the moon, just like the moon orbits the earth. So when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin escaped the earth's gravity, passed through outer space, and reached the moon, they were pulled in by the moon's gravity. The moon is smaller than the earth, so it pulled less forcefully, but strong enough that you need to throw a baseball 10,000 kph for it to escape to outer space. So, pulled in by that force, they landed and walked around, and took pictures, and brought back a bunch of rocks that can't be found anywhere on earth.
