Pesquet's fellow astronauts on the ISS were doing all sorts of somersaults inside the space station in zero gravity. One astronaut even managed to complete his "lack of floor" routine without touching ...
It’s almost impossible to replicate the effects of zero gravity here on Earth, and that’s one of the reasons why scientists are willing to spend so much of their funding to send experiments to the ...
You may have heard people say that aboard the International Space Station (ISS) there's "zero gravity," but in fact, gravity is still very much present. The station orbits Earth at an altitude of ...
imagine doing this when here on earth, you can't walk recently. History was made when a group of disabled scientists, veterans, students, athletes and journalists took part in a zero gravity flights.
Thanks to not-so-recent advances in technology, we can shoot just about anything into space, or at the very least into Earth's orbit. At first, we launched spy satellites during the Cold War, but once ...
Science teacher Mike Hickey has long understood the difference between mass and weight. Now, floating in zero gravity, he doesn't just understand it, he feels it. The 54-year-old Cleveland high school ...
Floating in zero gravity 32,000 feet above Newark Airport is something that a person who’s deathly afraid of heights and prone to motion sickness probably shouldn’t do. And yet, I did it. “I am not ...
In the zero-gravity airplanes or vomit comet, why does stuff behave like there is no gravity when it is just falling? – Austin B., 11, Scranton, Pennsylvania I have flown many times in zero-gravity ...
Brien has taken plenty of parabolic flights aboard the "vomit comet" by now, but there were plenty of things he was unprepared for when he first started his spaceflight training. By far the best part ...
On a recent flight, Yale student Paul Meuser turned his head to the side and saw his fellow passengers floating about the cabin. “That image will stay with me,” he said. Nothing was amiss. Meuser and ...
Think about the tallest, wildest roller coaster you've ever been on. If a Southern California design firm has its way, you haven't felt anything yet. BRC Imagination Arts is proposing a "zero gravity" ...
