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.

Why was Halley's comet important in 1066?
In 1066, the comet was seen in England and thought to be an omen.
Kohoutek one of its kind was studied by men in space?
Comet Kohoutek was a well-known comet that passed through our solar system in 1973. It was studied extensively by astronauts aboard the Skylab space station during its mission. The observations helped scientists gain insights into the composition and behavior of comets.
Where did Edmond Hally discovered Hally's Comet?
Edmond Halley did not discover Halley's Comet. The comet was actually named after him because he was the first person to calculate its periodicity and predict its return in 1758. The comet has been observed for centuries before Halley made his calculations.
What other comets will be visible form earth before 2100?
Oh, dude, predicting comet appearances is like trying to predict the weather in space - it's all over the place. But hey, we might catch a glimpse of Comet Halley in 2061 if we're lucky. So, keep your eyes peeled to the sky, and who knows, maybe a comet will photobomb your stargazing selfie before 2100.
What year did the first comet pass over the US?
Comets have been passing through the solar system since historical times. But no comet could have 'passed over' the US before 1776

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.
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"
