The explanation I've heard for gravity as depicted by relativity, is that it's the consequence of mass curving spacetime. This means that the reason why the light from a star behind Sun is bent is because evening though the light is traveling a straight line, since space itself is bent, traveling a straight line will cause the light to bend.
If this is the reason why we are stuck to the Earth, then what is happening when something leaves Earth? Is it no longer traveling a straight line through the curved space?
