Cool stuff. They are now going to run vomit comet flights for the general public. it's around 3000 dollars for a flight, getting pretty cheap for probably a once in a lifetime feeling of being weightless.

plus being held down in something rather than being able to float around. So no it isn't the same experience. Anyways I think it's cool.
