We are remarkably adaptable, can thrive in nearly every climate Earth has to offer, can survive where a bird would freeze or a cat would starve, can construct shelters out of everything from snow and mud to animal skins and dressed timber, and have been known to take on things like mammoths and wild boars and come out on top.
Pretty skewed definition of 'weak'.

Bug are adaptable.
Cockroaches live inside nuclear plants even.
Compared to the gravitational pull of a large celestial object? you're weaker than weak.
Bugs are not all that adaptable. Humans can survive temperature, humidity and pressure extremes that would kill most common insects. Bugs can do lots of things I can't do (such as enter Bolivia without a passport), but that doesn't make bugs adaptable.
Cockroaches are more resistant to radiation than humans (though not as resistant as most people think), but so what?
Not so much. Gravitational attraction is a constant - I'm pulling on that large celestial object just as much as it's pulling on me.
