Article 1: Zero-Gravity Roller Coaster

This is a really interesting article on the possibility of constructing a zero-gravity roller coaster! Can you imagine being weightless for 8 whole seconds? How does this relate to our studies of Newton's laws of motion? What are some design challenges that the engineer should address?
