So har far into (space) born do you have to go before you leave earth's orbit? 

You can leave Earths orbit at ground level mate. I don't think you understand what orbit means. Orbit isn't an effect or a region, it's a trajectory.

Go steady on him, it's too early for this.

You've said this twice now, the ISS is in space fella. You can orbit the Earth in SPACE!

There's no hard physical boundary between the atmosphere and 'space'. Generally definitions range from 80km to 120kms with the widely accepted definition 100km (aka Karman Line).

The ISS orbits at >300kms.

What so there's no Star Gate that you have to pass through?

OK let me put it this way saying I'm a dumb creation man

So it's the gravitational pull that's keeping the iss in orbit?

Read up on Newton, his theory basically explains it.

I'd rather Youse explain it mate, wouldn't be arsed lol

Well, gravity and velocity.

[Francie 6,368]

Heres a different angle, so the iss is contained inside our atmosphere at can't go outside it? 

The ISS needs boosted into orbit from time to time as its falling towards earth? 

[Greb147 6,810]

A quick explanation. 

Basically the same reason  a bullet doesn't hit the ground in an instant.

It's not 'contained' by anything other than a velocity that isn't sufficient to escape the Earths gravity. What little atmosphere there is at 300kms just acts as deceleration, it doesn't 'contain' anything, a carefully managed orbital velocity does that.

LOL, francie, you're asking really basic question and showing a fundamental lack of understanding but on the first page you made all sorts of bold claims dismissing space travel.

I wanting to hear your expert advice born.

Nah, you want to attack something you disagree with but aren't educated enough on the topic to actually justify. Which is why you came in making statements followed by questions rather than the other way round.

Haha seriously I don't, I find space very interesting born, probably not for the same reason as you, but aye its very interesting. 

I just find it funny that we think we can travel other planets lol

Dare I ask why?
