Zero Gravity Flights for the Rest of Us

waynegoode writes "Zero G Corporation, whose motto is "Question Gravity", is now offering zero gravity flights to the general public. For $3000 you get training and a 90 minute ride with 15 periods of 25 seconds of low or zero-gravity: 3 1/3 Mars gravity, 3 1/6 Lunar gravity, and 9 zero gravity. Peter Diamandis, the man behind the Ansari X Prize, worked 11 years to get FAA approval. Previously, such flights were available only to astronauts, researchers, and Tom Hanks; although recently flights for the public began Russia for about twice the price. Story also here."

I misread the headline as "Zero Gravity Fights for the Rest of Us."

The first thing I thought was, " I'm gonna f*%k someone's day all up in zero G, bitch."

And the second was, "Oh yeah? Well, TRON fights for the users, man."
