- SergeAx 5y agoI am not sure about cost effectiveness of this. I may experience 10 episodes of 30 second zero-g in parabolic flight for equivalent of $3750. It is almost $6000 (5000 euro) for non-Russian citizens plus ticket to Moscow plus accommodation, but still. Compare with $100-250k for 3 minutes of continuous zero-g with Virgin Galactic.
- Jabbles 5y agoIf you require more than 30 seconds to perform your experiment, you must instead compare this to an orbital flight.
