Oooh oooh — very exciting news! Becca and I both got picked to be mentors for the Reduced Gravity Program for the World Year of Physics 2005. I get to mentor a team of three physics teachers, help them get ready to fly on the KC-135 at the end of April, and…I get to fly on the Vomit Comet with them! WOOHOO!
12/16/04 Update: Ok, so it won’t actually be a KC-135 airplane, which has been retired. It’ll be a C-9 instead. But still a Vomit Comet!
I am jealous! Have fun.
Not jealous at all. . . but still have fun. 🙂
I thought that they were decommisioning the KC135? I heard that on NPR.
Ah. Good call. It’ll be a C-9. But still a Vomit Comet. 🙂
