Yeah, I share the same sentiment. 200k+ for a few minutes in zero-g just isn't enough for me, but if it we're a few hours in zero-g as we go around the globe on

Yeah, I share the same sentiment. 200k+ for a few minutes in zero-g just isn't enough for me, but if it we're a few hours in zero-g as we go around the globe once? That'd be awesome and I'd easily justify that price.
- chx 8y agoYeah if I want to feel freefall for a short time, I can just go for a tandem jump for 0.1% of this price. I even heard of indoor skydiving being fun and supposedly they are opening one here in Vancouver, BC next year.
- gruez 8y ago>I can just go for a tandem jump for 0.1% of this price But neither of those is 0g. Skydiving is sort of 0g at the beginning when you’re accelerating, but that tapers off to 1g as you approach terminal velocity. Same goes for indoor skydiving.
- trevyn 8y agoParabolic flight is about $5k and gets you a few minutes of zero-g in several 30-second chunks.
- chx 8y agoOoooooo this sounds amazing, thanks for the tip.
