Common misconception, but not really. The Space Shuttle in LEO had a weight of zero, but still had a mass of 90 metric tons. If an astronaut were to push on it in orbit, there would be no effect on the spacecraft. About the same as if you were to do the same on Earth. In fact, the only effect would be you pushing off of it due to Newton's third law.
