In class we saw this video of a father and son who sent an iPhone into space! | They also have a website where we might even learn how to do this ourselves: Brooklyn Space Program Father and Son Launch iPhone into Space |
We also learned about the Zero G Corporation that creates zero gravity simulations on a very expensive flight: Zero G Corporation | At $5,000 a pop you can be sure we will NOT be doing this as a class field trip. LoL. |
We even learned about what would actually happen to you in space: What Happens if Your Body is Exposed to the Vacuum of Space? |
Stephen HawkingWe also learned about one of the greatest physicists of our time: Stephen Hawking. A movie will soon come out about his life you can see the trailer below at www.Hawking.org.uk: | Quotes from the Trailer: "He would spend a lot of time looking at the stars and wondering where eternity came to an end." "I have often been transported afar. Lost inside my own thoughts." -Hawking "But because every day could be my last, I have the desire to make the most of each and every minute." -Hawking "He told me to build the spaceship because he wasn't going to live forever." -Richard Branson |
