If you had the money, would you go on a Zero G flight?

This company, Zero G, provides flights that allow passengers to experience weightlessness, for about $5,000. Check out the video. How cool is that?

This is how it’s done.

I’m somewhat afraid of flying. For me, flying requires a preflight valium and at least one Bloody Mary on the plane, so reading about the acrobatic maneuvers, what the plane would be doing while I was in, it kind of terrifies me, but it’s just so cool. If I had the money, I’d do it in a heartbeat, though I think I would still need my valium for take off, and so I wasn’t thinking about all those acrobatic maneuvers the plane was doing.

Apparently Stephen Hawking went up with Zero G; there’s a testimonial from him on their website. I would love to hear more about his experience; what it was like for him to be free of his wheel chair for a while and have his body be able to fly; through the “magic” of physics.

So, would you do it?
