On 20 September 35 young people, 25 from Portugal and 10 from Estonia, flew 15 parabolas on Novespace’s Airbus A310, each giving about 20 seconds of weightlessness; 60% were girls. That brings the Portuguese total to 146 since 2022. Our take: cheap, joyful and memorable, the kind of outreach that turns into engineers ten years later.
