Weightless Over Cleveland (Part II)

Zero-G gives rise to a “teachable moment”, MSNBC

“Over the weekend, about 40 teachers (and a few journalists) from throughout the country converged on Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport for two zero-gravity parabolic flights, with the serious purpose of inspiring kids to study math and science. But I have to admit, we didn’t look very serious while we were doing it. In fact, a lot of the teachers (and a few journalists) seemed more like kids bouncing off the walls of a flying playground.”
