If you do not know what NASA stands for, let's start with that. It stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For the facts, I learnt about 4 forces that can make an airplane move. Here are the 4 forces with it's definitions:
1. Lift: To push from under.
2. Drag: To slow down.
3. Thrust: To push forward.
4. Gravity: The force that keeps us on the ground.
Those are the 4 forces. Then we got to go on 3 spinning rides. The first one we went on was the Orbital Chair. We had to sit in two chairs on opposite sides. We were separated by a ladder-like thing. Then the tour guide would spin us and we would throw balls at each other and try to catch them. Then, we went on the Momentum Wheel. It was where we had to go on a small shaped podium and hold two bars that looked like scooter bars and when we stretched farther from the bars, the slower it went. But, when we stretched out, and came back into the circle it would spin real fast. Last, was the Gyro Chair. It wasn't fun as the other two, but the wheel we held in front of us was heavy and shook our bodies because it was vibrating really hard. What we did was, we sat on a chair and held a wheel that kept circling and we were able to steer the chair. When I steered the wheel to the left the chair moved left and the same thing when I steered it to the right. Ok, bye!
