Did you know that when you fall, you don’t actually fall down, the Earth comes up? Same if you throw a ball up - it doesn’t come down, you and the Earth move up to meet it. What this means is you have no weight, what you feel as weight is the Earth pushing UP into you. Any time you can free yourself from that Earth pushing up, as these astronauts are doing in a plane (by ‘falling’), you’ll enter your default state again - floating. But even in everyday stuff like sitting or standing, you’re floating but with the Earth just constantly pushing up under you. You don’t need to hold yourself up, you’re not ‘weighted’ at all.
