The zero gravity Las Vegas experience is now available for those who wish to feel weightless.

A specially designed Boeing 727 will perform effects of a real space flight including flying smaller parabolas that recreate lunar gravity.

The price of Las Vegas space flights, of course, are steep.  But at least now you have the option.  The company is called Zero G and it the only one of its kind.

This is the identical weightless flight experience used by NASA to train its astronauts and used by Ron Howard and Tom Hanks to film “Apollo 13.”

You will not spend the entirety of your sub-orbital spaceflight in zero gravity however – the Las Vegas space flights also offer reconstructions of the gravitational fields found on the moon and Mars at 1/6 and 1/3 of the Earth’s gravity, respectively.

G-Force One, Zero-G’s specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft, will depart from Signature Air Terminal at McCarran International Airport.

Don’t miss this once in a lifetime VIP experience. Not many people get the chance to say they experience zero G, so why not be the first among your friends and family members. Las Vegas offers so many unique opportunities.

Aerospace engineers have been busy over the last four years, secretly working diligently in a Mojave Desert hanger. Their goal: develop a commercial spaceship to loft rich tourists 62 miles above Earth.

This ambitious venture is the work of British billionaire Richard Branson and American aerospace designer Burt Rutan. Last week, the team rolled out their ship and it will begin a rigorous flight test program that space tourism advocates hope will result in the first suborbital joy rides by the end of the decade.

Interest is high and already 250 wannabe astronauts have paid $200,000 or put down a deposit for a chance to float weightless for a mere five minutes.

The commercial spaceship, named White Knight is a twin fuselage ship with the same wingspan (140 feet) as the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, a World War II bomber.

The SpaceShipTwo is the size of a corporate Gulfstream and is capable of carrying six passengers and two pilots. Both ships will be built wholly from ultralight composite materials.
