Ironic how this was posted by someone with the name "Cosmonaut".

This looks really really fun though... I can't imagine what it would be like to feel weightless. I guess I'll have to give it a try someday. Who's with me!?

What would make it more fun is if a few of them suddenly got air-sick and ralphed everywhere during a weightless moment... longest 30 seconds of your life (trying to dodge free-floating wads of yuck that is).

Actually, the 'weightlessness' that is experienced in orbit is actually a perpetual freefall. Just an interesting tidbit you might enjoy.
