You don't have any idea of what weight is do you?
Weight is the mutual force exerted between planets - like Earth, mars,
and our moon - and objects, bodies and masses "resting" thereon. There
is no weight exerted between Earth and the moon; in fact there's no
scale strong enough to measure the weight of the moon, even if we
could get it down here to rest on Earth's terra firma.
We don't have to go into outer space to find "weightless
environments"; they are all around us; once we get beyond the
atmosphere. Any satelite is "weightless" because its orbit is such
that it's fleeing from Earth's center at the same rate as it is
gravitating toward it.
