The effects of hypergravity and microgravity on biomedical experiments [electronic resource] / Thais Russomano, Gustavo Dalmarco, and Felipe Prehn Falcão.
Take one elephant and one man to the top of a tower and simultaneously drop. Which will hit the ground first? You are a pilot of a jet fighter performing a high-speed loop. Will you pass out during the maneuver? How can you simulate being an astronaut with your feet still firmly placed on planet Ear...
