Astronaut Weightlessness Training

The video explains the concept of gravity and microgravity in space, highlighting that gravity is still present in space, allowing planets and stars to orbit. It discusses how astronauts experience microgravity, leading to weightlessness. The video then explores two main methods for simulating microgravity on Earth: neutral buoyancy and parabolic flight. Neutral buoyancy involves using large water tanks to mimic space conditions, while parabolic flights create short periods of weightlessness by flying in steep angles. Both methods have their advantages and limitations for astronaut training.
