Not me.If you go up in the air in a plane and the plane comes down real fast you experience weightlessness. The same way the astronauts train. Earth is moving around the sun(not sure on the speed, but approx.), at 25 miles per sec. The sun is moving around the galaxy at 125 miles per sec. The Milky way is moving towards the Andromeda at 225 miles per sec. We are moving so fast in three different directions, if there is no bottom to hit, why worry about it? Now, if I am in the airplane coming down real fast, I might worry about it.

No. But I can imagine how it might make some people feel creepy. I heard of one Russian cosmonaut that got that feeling while in space, but I never heard of people on the ground falling prey to that type of insecurity. On the ground it is easy to pretend the Earth is not in empty space, with nothing around, above or below it.

Nope -- not as long as there is plenty of oxygen and food.
Isn't it a little scarier to be stuck in one spot and have the rest of the universe circling us at incredible speed every day? We would be sitting ducks for anything headed our way. If we are moving, it might just miss us.

Do you realize?...you have the most beautiful face.
Do you realize?...we're floating in space.
Do you realize?...that everyone you know someday will die.
...and instead of saying all of your goodbye's...
...let them know you realize that life goes fast...
...it's hard to make the good things last...
...realize the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round...

and no, it doesn't bother me.

Try thinking of it this way.The earth is a space craft about as plush as possible to take care of us dumb people. Don't know where we are going so we can't change it Good luck.

No, because what could we fall to? It isn't like falling off a tall building, where eventually you hit something.

It's better than floating in the toilet, isn't it?
