Some of the most exciting training happens in a huge Russian cargo
plane, flying great big arcs in the sky, so that the passengers
experience periods of weightlessness similar to that in space. This
has to be seen to be believed. They call it the 'comit comet', and
it's quite a ride. Most of these flights were for training purposes,
but some of the parabolas in each flight are devoted to the sheer
pleasure of zero-g. If you're a little crazy, you can come to Star
City and try this out for yourself! |
