How cool would it be to experience zero gravity? Well the company Zero G will let you experience 8 minutes of zero gravity without even traveling to space. I must say though that this is no Ferris wheel, the ride ticket will not cost you $15, however it is just as ridiculously priced as a carnival ticket. This is definitely an experience for the rich considering the cost for the coolest 8 minute ride of your life will cost you $5,000.00 (USD) per ride ticket.
Zero G has customized a Boeing 727 as seen above (image) and bellow (video) that will give you the experience of a free fall (or zero gravity) as the plane essentially nose-dives to the earth's crust. I am thinking of two things while watching this video: (1) This looks like the coolest carnival ride ever and (2) I wonder if these people would be having as much fun as they appear to be having if they just looked out the window to see that they were crashing down to earth in a plane. (Probably that is why there are no windows on this plane)
Anyways with my conflicting views of how cool and terrifying this is, if you are interested and have the money to actually go through with this then check out Zero G's website to set up your appointment. For those who cannot afford this treat, well..... just live vicariously through the people in the video like I have done.
Be sure to check back soon, as we are in the process of updating and overhauling our site to give you all a better user experience. Also there will be more tech and humor post coming with the update. Stay Tuned!
