ever went to space and just fell where the hell would they fall to!?

they would fall wherever the laws of physics guided them.
unless there is a large object nearby with enough mass to even allow falling to be possible. It's not really falling...more like ' being pulled to '

Nowhere. Falling can only happen if there is a gravity source (like a planet or moon) to fall to.
If they were far from any large object, they would just float with the same speed and direction as when they fell. Until they encountered a gravity source.

There is no gravity in space...but there might be a planet or a star or even a very big asteroid that might influence a slight pull on you, then you would get closer and closer and you would start falling to the ground of the planet, or certain death in a sun/gas giant.

Broadly speaking, there is no place to fall to. In reality, they would fall to the object with the greatest gravitational attraction at the point they "just fell".

haha okay, well space is a vacuum, and there isn't gravity there so you can't "fall".
And you can't "fall" in a certain direction because in space, really, who determines what's up or down?

to the source of the gravity well that are falling in.

they wouldnt fall,they would float :).
they would float in space in theu universace on gravity

uhm, they would float, depending on how far out thet are. They would implode pretty quickly too.
