-- The chance to experience the rare and exalted state of weightlessness
Weightless flight is a rare, unique opportunity to experience the total
absence of gravity. Buzz Aldrin, Martha Stewart, Joey Fatone, Princess
Beatrice of York, Professor Stephen Hawking, Billy Bush, Burt Rutan, Amy
Grant, Miles O'Brien, and cast members of "The Apprentice," and "The
Biggest Loser" are just a few notable passengers who've flown with ZERO-G
and proclaimed it to be one of the most thrilling experiences of their
lives.
Flights last approximately two hours and deliver 15 separate weightless
experiences, each lasting about 30 seconds. This is twice the amount of
weightless time achieved in a typical sub-orbital flight into space. The
ZERO-G Experience is offered at a price of $4,950 per seat plus tax. For
