What keeps the vacum of space from sucking the air and gases around planets? Anyone know?

It is only a vacuum compared to our planet which at sea level has the atmospheric pressure caused by the weigh of our atmosphere piled up.

IF it had enough mass. That would be a pretty big space station. Maybe it would even be called a planet.

To clarify: I intended the moon to be an example of something that has significant mass (say, compared to a space station), yet still has insufficient mass to retain much of an atmosphere.
They do their farming there in tunnels, sealed to retain the atmosphere. Just ask Manuel Garcia O'Kelly-Davis.

One cool program that you should watch is 'The Fabric of the Cosmos', a NOVA show on PBS. It's very cool about explaining some really complex stuff.
