Zero-G Flight with Richard Garriott

Wow holy crap!

I just spent the morning doing 15 zero-g parabolas here in Austin! I went to Richard Garriott's house this week for an event the University of Texas is putting on to raise money for the new Video Game archive and I bid on one of the seats open on the flight and won!

This is a bit of a life dream come true, I did study Aerospace Engineering for BS and MS, and worked at JPL a bit in the UV Lab - and today we got to fly with some NASA flight trained guys, do the m&m floating and water drinking tricks.

It was amazing, the feeling is unreal - walking on the ceiling of the 727, flying like superman!

It is freaking amazing.... gozerog.com

Welp, I am off back to the convention center to get ready for my talk.
