Our planet is not in space...

...because the atmosphere, gravity, or magnetic field to it may be. What is seen is light reflecting off the planet to make it appear as though it's in space, but it's technically not, correct?

And the atmosphere, magnetic field, gravity can not be called earth because they are not made of earth. Just like the water of the oceans are not called earth. So dont let light reflection fool your eyes or perception when gazing from a space angle.

Inside the sun's light there is no space. Only when the light is blocked do you get to see and perceive space. If you defined space as whatever makes something float than water would be space. So dont go there. :wink: So when the space shuttle is not on earth, but in the light of the sun (or even moon light or star light), it's not in space at all actually. Space can not technically be without the absence of a light field, heat field , gravity field, magnetic feild, and matter field. Anyone get what I'm saying at how scientist and space exploration have it all so incorrect?

There has never been a person who has been up in space before is also what this is implying.
