I feel like most people grasp the decay of gravity because of space, and because the moon doesn’t crash into us, etc. I would wager it’s because the space involved is incomprehensible. It’s not obvious why rocks being 600k miles apart forms any kind of feature. That’s 24 trips around the circumference of the earth. I had honestly presumed they were closer. Not sci-fi movie close, but maybe a few miles in between? Space is incomprehensibly large to me.
