That is the goofy thing about the “Zero G” experience Branson is selling. Its basically just taking you up to high altitude and dropping you. Unlike Orbital Zero G where you are falling towards the earth while the earth curves away below you, so you never hit it, you are falling towards earth just like a guy committing suicide off of a building.

Not too many people would pay $200K if you describe it like that, I’m afraid, however.

I’m always impressed by the brilliant minds on FreeRepublic. Thanks for educating me. I’ve passed the info on to my 17 year old son.
