Hold on a minute now...I'm a nerd and all, but I missed some! The organisms surviving in space without any kind of protection thing beat me fair and square (I thout I heard about amino acids or some basic organic molecules from space, but didn't know any legitimate organisms had survived. Bring on the "is bacteria an organism" debate!)

...and I thought 10 was a trick question. They didn't know planets could form around binary stars before? Doesn't seem that far fetched. But anyway! On to my problem.

I'd like to say that I was having trouble interpreting this one to begin with, but "no gravity in deep space" I answered true to. Clearly, the gravitational field I create exists everywhere, though its magnitude approaches 0 very quickly. "deep space" I took to mean very (read: infinitely) far away from anything massive, so gravitational force on a test mass there would = 0, and I called that "no gravity." But apparently orbit around the earth is deep space now, go figure

...yeah, so I went on and on about it, I'm bored, sue me
