Zero Gravity

The Northrop Grumman Foundation Weightless Flights of Discovery program is designed to inspire students to pursue science and technical careers by inspiring their teachers first. Practicing classroom middle school teachers and future middle school teachers have the opportunity to participate in hands-on science workshops and perform and experiment in a parabolic or "zero-gravity" aircraft flight that creates temporary weightlessness comparable to what humans would experience during space travel to the Moon or Mars. It also mimics how astronauts train for space flights. The flight took off and landed from LaGuardia Airport on 9/10/07. Video by John O'Boyle

My science teacher went near the end of 2007. Northrop Grumman sponsored the trip. I wish I could experience that! It seems so cool.
