For a spacecraft going directly from the Earth to theMoon,beyond what point will lunar gravity begin to dominate? Thatis,where will the lunar gravitational force be equal in magnitudetothe Earth's gravitational force? Are the astronauts onboardaspacecraft at this point truly weightless? I found the point where the lunar gravitational force isequalto th magnitude of the earth's gravitational force to be 3.42x10^8 meters, i just need help with the last part of thequestion(are the astronauts truly weightless at this point)
