I didn't get the last bit though, where he was on about Einstein, saying that they weren't moving at all? It bloody looked like they were!
Gravity isn't a force - it's a warping of space-time. As such, any object at rest on the ground (apparently) is in free-fall towards the centre of the earth - only the ground is in the way..
Although it does make me wonder - given that the vast majority of our existence is like the vacuum of that test centre, how the f**k are any of us alive in the first place?!?!

Gravity (and speed) also affect time .... to the point your Sat nav triangle system needs to take this into account otherwise you would quickly be of course within a few miles ... as time moves faster for the orbiting satellites due to their speed and the lower gravity orbiting above the earth
1) It is the divine will of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
2) We got lucky.
3) 42.
ie it's only in a universe (and in a part of it) capable of supporting life, that life will be able to evolve and understand that it does, AKA a self-fulfilling condition of our existence.

So weightlessness in space (in orbit) is just constant freefall. Or something like that.
Either that or it's BS he made up for the US government and the earth is, in fact, flat.

No. It's not lucky at all, it's a certainty because if it wasn't then we wouldn't be here to wonder about it! When you think about it, it's so obvious that it doesn't really need formulating into a principle, but that's philosophers for you...

I would have preferred a bears shitting in woods/trees making a noise/particles acting hooky one over a crappy "life only exists in places where the life there can define it as being suitable for life" one...
Yeah baby !
