Something I've always wondered about: When you see armed idiots shooting automatic weapons straight up into the air celebrating, where do the bullets come down? You would think a lot of people would be hit.
Well obviously they don't come down then. They are in outer space somewhere.
Also it might be that they don't fall down as fast as they go up, because of terminal velocity.
Correct. They would only come down at the basic pull of gravity that earth has. For many years uneducated ppl have been saying that if they toss a penny off the empire state building, it will kill the person below. Wrong.
Also, I don't care how high up you are falling from space. Landing in water is never fatal. Landing in water and making a nice splash is always better than landing on concrete
