Weightless Over Cleveland – Part 1: Floating Teachers, SpaceRef

Weightless Over Cleveland – Part 2: Learning to Fly, SpaceRef

“A few weeks ago I had an experience – one that I will remember for a lifetime. Along with several dozen teachers, I flew aboard a jet aircraft as it went through a flight profile designed to produce authentic weightlessness – the kind space travelers experience – albeit in small, bite-sized chunks. Alas, the experience was far too short for my liking. As someone told me just before we took off, this can become addictive. I can see why now. I’d love to do this again – and again.”
