Stephen Hawking's Zero-Gravity Flight

This one is for mom, who's a big fan of professor Hawking. Hawking took a zero-gravity flight yesterday in order to promote space travel and exploration. There was medical equipment in case there were problems, and he was given a motion sickness pill ahead of time to prevent possible complications. Anyway, here you can watch two of the eight dives the jet took, which produced the experience of no gravity for about 25 seconds each. During the video he kind of just looks like a doll that people are manipulating and moving around, but the end reveals just how much Hawking enjoyed the experience.

  1. Confession: Made me think of a nerd being pushed around by bullies in a circle in like 5th grade. But other than that, it is pretty awesome that he took the trip!
