Why is it important for astronauts to train in vomit comet before gooing into space?

Astronaut candidates do "parabolic training" on a plane nicknamed the "Vomit Comet" (due to its tendency to induce motion sickness in passengers) so that they can experience weightlessness before being launched into space. If a potential astronauts is found to not be able to handle weightlessness, it's better to find that out before they actually get sent there for a long period of time. Also, weightless training gives them experience in how objects behave in zero-gee, so it's not a surprise when they get there.

Can or has anyone came up with the technology of weightlessness on Earth?
Flying in a parabolic arc is the best we can do presently. Astronauts have to take such training aboard the "Vomit Comet"
Why are halebopps comet and halleys comet important?
By themselves, comets are not really important. Even the most impressive comet, like Hale-Bopp, is a visual spectacle only. But the POTENTIAL for a comet - to strike the Earth directly and cause untold devastation - is far more significant. Right now, if we were to see a comet aimed at the Earth, there is very little that we could do about it, other than stand there and die. The threat of a comet impact, like the ones that have devastated our planet several times before, ought to be enough spur us all into looking for ways to protect ourselves from the inevitable time that it WILL happen again.
