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:

At $5,000 a pop you can be sure we will NOT be doing this as a class field trip. LoL. 
Picture

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 Hawking

We 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
