Ok, just a question for you rocket scientists out there. In the movie, which I suppose you've seen, (excellant) Clooney unhooks himself from Roberts, who is hooked onto a space station. Clooney then drifts away at a pretty fast clip. I don't get it. Aren't they both drifting at the same speed in space? Can somebody explain this? Surely it isn't gravity pulling him down, cause they are far enough out for no G to be in play. Just honestly wanna know the answer to this basic science question.
