Subject: Stephen Hawking takes zero-gravity flight
Written By: Philip Eno on 04/27/07 at 1:42 am
British physicist Stephen Hawking has completed a zero-gravity flight in a specially modified plane.
Professor Hawking, who suffers from motor neurone disease, was able to float free, unrestricted by his paralysed muscles and his wheelchair.

Like whistledog said, it must've been amazing for him. I saw pictures and the look of pleasure on his face was priceless :)

Hawking in the air...
"...'cuz his power is his mass times the speed of light squared."
- E=mcHawking
Seeing him grinning like that brought a smile to my face too.

They have another name for those Zero-G aircraft. "The Vomit Comet". :P
Those aircraft are supposed to have an odor not unlike that stuff that school bus drivers lay down on a fresh pile of puke.
I'm guessing that it did not earn that reputation on Hawking's flight, else we would not have seen those pics. ;D
