YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

What is microgravity – and how does it help science research? Narrated by David Mitchell, the fifth ‘60 Second Adventures’ series explores how and why we recreate microgravity conditions on Earth using ‘drop towers’ and ‘parabolic flights’ as well as asking people to spend a lot of time in bed; that way we can understand processes from bacterial resistance to human aging or even planet formation. Funded by the UK Space Agency.
