  But our rock isn’t floating, it’s falling constantly towards the sun with only its lateral velocity preventing it from hitting the star. It’s not floating like it’s suspended, if the planet ever stopped it would rapidly plunge to its doom.

    You know they say the trick to flying is just falling but missing the ground.

    Well, it’s floating very quickly sideways. As it was said in The Expanse, you can’t really ever stop in space, you can just match orbits with something else

  I’d ask her out if she were on a different floating rock.
