Adventurous travelers can book a 90-minute trip on board the G-Force One, a hollowed-out cabin of a customized Boeing 727 where participants can float weightlessly during flight
There is another way, however, to feel what it would be like to float in space like an astronaut at a mere $7,500 per person for a 90-minute trip.
When the modified G-Force One plane gets to an altitude of about 24,000 feet , the pilots start to climb, and then push the plane over the top of a parabolic arc. On Wednesday, a SpaceX rocket blasted off from Florida carrying billionaire e-commerce executive Jared Isaacman and three other people he chose in the first all-tourist crew to orbit Earth.
Zero G has been offering flights since 2004 and counts Virgin founder Richard Branson, Musk, astronaut Buzz Aldrin and physicist Stephen Hawking among its customers.
