BBtv online: http://tv.boingboing.net. In today's episode of Boing Boing tv, we float around in zero gravity. With me on this Zero-G weightless flight are Intel Chairman Craig Barrett; my friend Sean Bonner from metblogs; and a bunch of science teachers from grade schools and high schools throughout the United States who were on board to conduct microgravity experiments for the kids back home. As you watch, keep an eye out for the floating lego robot, a flying pig, and the barfing guy who is totally barfing for reals -- the rest of us did not, btw, I don't get sick in space.What you see in this episode is what it feels like, guys, and it feels awesome. -- Xeni Jardin.

DerfLIennod: It most likely was. These "Zero G" flights also perform a series of modified parabolas to create a Lunar (1/6th g) and Martian (1/3rd g) environment. However, .02g is the average net acceleration for the microgravity portion-which is a very crappy microgravity quality. The ISS achieves 10-6g, and drop towers provide 10-3 to 10-4g. Parabolic flights still look fun, though.

why does the lady with white hair seem to be in every shot?

wonder what a space porno would look like.

What gets me is that so called scientists are doing all kinds of experiments on these flights, claiming that those are zero-gravity experiments, when in reality they are just experiments with inertia 8oP

Like 4000 dollars. More fun to just something real high to jump off of into water, its free, and you still get to flail around in the air
