:rotfl: I always love a lame pun.

In more typical comments, I can only pray this and endeavors (ooh not a pun, wouldn't be funny at all) like it will lead to the abolishment of NASA in favor of privatized space exploration and exploitation.

$200.000 for five minutes of freefall. :nope:

I think booking several flights on a commercial "vomit Comet" would be money better spent at least you get more time in freefall.
