Uh... well, mass IS, strictly speaking, a measure of an object's inertia, so he almost has a point.
Too bad gravity is the interactive force between any two given masses in the universe as well as being a force field. Force fields don't simply \"vanish\" at some point, they just become too weak to be noticed. (With the caveat that most of space still has a good amount of gravity acting on you, it's just that since the whole system you're travelling in is in freefall, you won't notice).

Most people need a heart to pump blood round their bodies.
This guy could do it just by the blood rushing up to fill the vacuum and trickling down the jugular.
Anyone game to try to explain to him Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity of Space and Time? (Particularly the curvature of the space/time continuum round massive bodies)

Without inertia? wasn't it without air in your previous quote? Come on, man, make up your mind.

No air no Inertia

If that were true an object in a vacuum chamber would not fall.

\"No air no Inertia\"
Objects in a swimming pool have inertia...

Objects in space have inertia, too. Perhaps you should look up the definition of inertia. and gravity. and air.

At night, I draw the stars closer to the earth because my ass is bursting with gravity goodness.

As requested: Engineering made easy
Flying:
Inertia tells us that an object will deflect a moving molecule. We are also aware that a gas (air) is very elastic. Air is deflected both up and down by the leading edge of the wing at an energy cost from the thrust of the engines. The design of the leading edge of the wing deflects the air more violently upward. The combined effects of inertia and the elasticity of a gas result in the air reversing direction relatively slowly and resulting in a lowered pressure on the trailing upper portion of the wing. Nevertheless the greater lift is provided by the inertia of the many air molecules contacted by the under surface of the wing. That is why aircraft must move FAST.

hahahaha... this is just too good to be true. Hey, WITNESS THE REAL, answer me this:
Two spacecraft (of equal weight on Earth) are in region of the solar system devoid of any atmosphere (ie, no air). One of them is motionless relative to the sun, the other is moving at a constant speed relative to the sun.
1) are spaceship #1's engines on? Are spaceship #2's? Explain your answer.
2) Say spaceship #2 runs into spaceship #1. What happens? Does either start to move/continue to move? Does either one stop moving? Explain your answer.

NonHomogenized,
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I was responding here to defend a statement of mine that was taken out of context. Also, you haven't given me enough valid information to give you an answer.
Do these spaceships have reverse thrusters? How distant are they from the sun? What kinds of material are they made of?
What angle do they bump each other at?
