...curvatures in spacetime being created by Earth's gravity?
My understanding is that its speed offsets the gravity being created by earth, that it's freely falling towards Earth but never hits it because its speed somehow causes it to keep missing. If that's the case, wouldn't that suggest that the ISS is under the influence of Earth's gravity (but that it just constantly maintains its orbit because of speed)?
Thanks.
