A Look back: Shuttle Challenger Disaster

Christa McAuliffe gets a preview of microgravity on NASA's specially equipped KC-135 “zero gravity” aircraft on January 13, 1986. The plane flies in a parabolic pattern that provides short periods of weightlessness. For some people, those bouts of zero-G can induce nausea – which is why the airplane was nicknamed the “Vomit Comet”. (Photo by Getty Images/Science & Society Picture Library)
