Moments after the prior photo, with an attempt at coordinated action. I got a promo video with the footage from our Zero-G flight. It does a better job than my photos in showing what the weightless astronaut trainer is like.

We also get a great view of Danny Hillis’ cranium, a muse for my blogging about the power of evolutionary algorithms in computer science.

This photostream comes with an iTunes mix. =)

Resurrection (Space Club remix), PPK, Oakenfold Ibiza (found on a Russian website). This song samples radio communications from Yuri Gagarin’s first human space flight. My friend, Eric, was the first person I know to do a weightless parabolic flight. Just a few years ago, the only option he had was to go to Russia and fly with the Russian space program.

  1. These photos are awesome, though if I did it, I know I’d be the first to hurl.

  2. i admit it: i don´t know what i like more, whether the photo or the reference and extra data on Resurrection… Listening to it now. 😀

  3. I don’t even know how I got here… but now that I did, I smiled so much that I had to comment. 🙂 These look so much fun!!! This will be my request for my next birthday present – a zero-gravity facility… or maybe just to be in one for a bit 😉

  4. that had to be soo much fun!

  5. How long are they able to keep you at zero G?

  6. about 30 seconds per arc, and they do about 12 arcs per trip. You start with Mars, and then Moon gravity to get ready….
