41m | Sep 18, 2026

Zero Gravity: A Texas physics teacher's two zero-gravity experiments with NASA and Northrop Grumman, proving that the most unique adventures can happen in the most unexpected careers.

In his 28-year career as a physics teacher in McAllen, TX, Curt has done two separate zero gravity experiments totaling 30 minutes of floating in air. The first time was with NASA scientists testing the software to control Robonaut in a zero-G environment. The second was sponsored by Northrup Grumman, a defense contractor, to spark interest in science in students. As far as adventure goes, it doesn't get any more unique than this!
