Is it possible for anyone to go on a zero gravity plane?

Question

I would love to experience zero gravity and was wondering if i could book a flight? Astronaughts go on these prior to going into space to get used to the effects but i would love to try it just for fun and the experience???????

Answer 1

Not for long.  I think 30 minutes is about the limit.

Answer 2

Yes - there's an outfit here in the states (Don't remember where), and one in Russia.  They're quite expensive, and I don't know how many 'free falls" you get.  (I think they last on the order of about 30 seconds apiece.)

Answer 3

'Zero-G' is the only U.S. company that offers FAA approved weightless flight service.  For a price of $4,147.50 (including tax) you can purchase one seat.  This includes 15 parabolic flights (10 of which are 'weightless'), a flight suit, a post-event party, photos and a DVD of the flight.  They flights are usually run out of CA, NV or the Kennedy Space Center in FL.

Answer 4

There is a company in Las Vegas, NV called ZERO-G that offers"vomit comet" flights to the general public. A thirty minute flight costs about $4,000.

Answer 5

The "Vomit Comet" is NOT available to the general public. Sorry!

Answer 6

stork 510 is right, read the article.  Open to public as of April, 21, 07.  $3675.00 (plus tax?)

Enjoy the ride!

Answer 7

there are commercial outfits that do this. they require basic medical checks, nothing more. oh, and a waiver that if anything goes wrong, you (or your heirs) will not sue them.
