Episode 25 Reduced Gravity Aircraft: What is the Vomit Comet anyway? - BIIRS Season 3

Happy New Year, Space Cadets! We are so excited to be back! Have you ever wondered what the Vomit Comet was? How do those anti-gravity simulator airplanes work anyway? Come hang out with us, your friendly neighborhood Aerospace Engineers, and learn all about Reduced Gravity Aircraft!
