COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Jan. 16 (TNSRes) -- Texas A&M University's College of Engineering issued the following news:
We are pulled toward the Earth's surface at approximately 9.8 meters per second squared, otherwise known as acceleration due to gravity, and measured as 1G (g-force). In space, there is microgravity or 0G. As astronauts leave Earth and shoot into space and onto other planetary surfaces, their experience is unique, as they could be exposed to altered grav . . .
