AKA Riptide Furse

Northrop Grumman has announced their schedule for Flights of Discovery for 2009. Teachers who apply and are accepted will have a chance to experience near zero gravity.

This is similar to a microgravity flight I went on in 2007 with NASA. Although this one isn’t with NASA the amount of learning and experience teachers bring back to the classroom is unmatched.

Applications will be accepted until all the spots are filled. Find out more information here.
