Like To Have That Weightless Feeling?

The return on the Discovery crew today has brought a number of commentators -- people who have been on a shuttle or in the space station before -- to interviews talking about what it's like to live in a weightless environment.

Not many of us earthbound types can have this experience, but there is a site that gives us a view into that world....at least a terrestrial version of it. These folks use airplanes to recreate a zero or near-zero gravity world and spend a few precious seconds or minutes flying free.

To hear them tell of their experiences and see pictures of them flying around, go to Space.com's site caled Zero-G.
