Taking Flight or Rather, Float

img_1928

If you ever get an opportunity to float in microgravity, I highly recommend it. My flight today was incredible to say the least. People compare floating in space to floating in water. It is similar but a feeling that really can not be described until you try it. Not to forget, we were there for work and had a lot of success collecting data for our experiment.  We had colored spheres today. We also added a surprise ending to our experiment, but we have to wait for the video for that one. I will continue to add to this blog for some time after this trip because we still have to analyze our data.

So I know everyone is dying to know if I vomited on the vomit comet. You’ll have to ask her yourself.

Can’t wait to go back home and see everyone on Monday!

    Hi Kirsten!
    On Friday, my HR left messages on the blog (via the “tower, logged on as me”), but apparantly they never uploaded :(
    Several students had comments and questions for you….

    Kimberly wished you luck
    Avantika wanted to know more about the microgravity experience
    Wynee hoped you didn’t vomit on the comet!
    Jessica wished you luck

    …and the rest of us said we are so proud of you and really enjoyed seeing and hearing you during the video conference. You are missed!
    Deb
