Question

SURVEY: If you are falling through space, will you keep speeding up or eventually slow down?

Answer 1

I think I'd go faster and faster... until after a while I wouldn't feel anything... and then my body would just burst into fire. And the angel's wouldn't help me, 'cause they've all gone away...  

Answer 2

eventually you will be vaporized from passing to close to a star

Answer 3

im pretty sure that you keep going the same speed that you entered space......unless u hit something =)

Answer 4

It's not actually possible to "fall through space" because the act of falling means tending towards a gravitational force, which you would not encounter in deep space. Even if you were caught in a body's orbit, you wouldn't be falling, just orbiting. And if you somehow fell into a planet's atmosphere and began hurtling towards the surface of the planet... you would no longer be falling through space, you'd be falling through the atmosphere (and essentially burning to a crisp).

In space, there is no friction, no resistance to motion... so if you threw a tennis ball in deep space (or another person), they would move at exactly the same speed into infinity, until they encountered another opposing force (such as a gravitational field, a rock, an alien, whatever).

Answer 5

One of the many things you cannot do in space is fall.

Floating sounds like fun though:-)
