One minor correction, if I may. There is mass of objects in space. I 
presume you mean "weight", which is determined by relative distance to 
another object. If not, you should study the fun problems of manipulating 
large objects in a zero G environment. It's easy to be crushed by a mass 
with momentum that has no "weight".
