it goes up for the astronaut and goes down for the space shuttle

it goes down for the astronaut and goes up for the space shuttle
it goes down for the astronaut and goes up for the space shuttle

it goes down
it goes down

it goes up
it goes up

Answer 1

The force of gravity between the astronaut and the space shuttle remains the same. It does not change.

Answer 2

is this correct

Answer 3

My apologies for the confusion. Once the astronaut is on a spacewalk and moving away from the space shuttle, the force of gravity between them decreases. So, the correct answer is: "it goes down for the astronaut and goes up for the space shuttle."
