QuoteThey are still well within it, but they are not resisting it, they are actually falling with it around the earth.

Excellent description!  I had it explained to me this way.  Imagine a cannon firing a cannon ball.  More velocity = more distance.  More velocity and the cannonball will keep going farther... eventually circling the globe.  More velocity and it will circle over and over(orbit).  Eventually they all suucumb to gravity and fall back to earth unless more velocity is applied.  Too much velocity and you can escape gravity but you are no longer in orbit and headed to the moon or Mars... :)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."
