Travel to space or experience zero gravity

“What I expected to feel was the sensation of floating. From watching Zero-G flyers float on the plane to seeing videos of countless astronauts floating in space, it seemed reasonable to assume that what looked like floating might, well, feel a bit like floating. But instead, it was a sensation entirely its own. In fact, I was so disoriented that it took me a minute to adjust my eyes to try and see straight as I stood up and my arms flew instantly above my head. I knew that with less gravity, every tiny action would merit a much bigger physical response, but actually experiencing it is completely wild! I barely moved and yet I was catapulting to the (padded) ceiling in absolute disbelief of the myriad of sensations rushing through me.”

“Everything felt completely effortless during the zero-gravity parabolas. You could fly like Superman or tuck your legs to your chest and just float in the cabin — anything was possible. Unlike riding a roller coaster or sky diving, there was no point where I felt like I was "falling." Although exhilarating, all the movements were smooth and peaceful. It's like laying on your bed and being pulled up towards the ceiling or floating in a pool, but without the water.”

“SO before I went onboard the Zero G flight, I thought THIS is what it would be like floating in Zero G for the first time: However I quickly found out it was more like this the first couple of times we went weightless (30 seconds at a time): After the 6th zero-g parabola I think it was much better…..but at FIRST you definitely have a difficult time controlling yourself. Simply pushing off the floor with LAUNCH you upwards towards the ceiling. Plus you’re often bumping into other people who change your trajectory. I remember one time I just curled up into a ball and floated around the whole 30 seconds. I would get bumped, pushed, nudged….around the whole area by other people or the walls. It was fun to feel like a ping-pong ball!”
