Orbit - Astronauts photographs

Mrs Fee brought in a beautiful photo called Orbit which is full of photographs taken by Nasa Astronauts while in space. We were just fliching through some of the pages when the children started asking some good questions and sharing some great understandings.

(A picture of an astronaut floating outside a rocket)
Eva: How is it floating in the sky?
Vida: You can float in space.
Claire: Why doesn't he fall down?

(A picture of a satellite)
Claire: Whats that?
Eva: Part of a rocket
Thomas: It's a satellite
Miss B: What is satellite?
Vida: Its a rocket that floats around in space and it glows like a star.
Thomas: Satellites make T.V.s work
Claire: The beds are very uncomfy in space, I've seen it on Toy Story.

Questions to clarify: How do things float in space?
