- We cover a lot of space stories at The Verge, but this is the closest we’ve gotten to actually going there. Join Loren Grush as she takes a ride on the infamous “vomit comet” and experiences true weightlessness.
This video is part of The Verge series Space Craft, and we wanted to play it here too! Season two of Space Craft is airing right now on our other CZcams channel The Verge - check it out here: bit.ly/2w0jbAK

How long do you think it’ll take before civilians can take trips into orbit?
I hope it's gonna be a in decade or so.. it's not like I'll have the money for it anyway :c
It would be too expensive for my entire lifetime anyway
2035 or within a decade of that. It all depends if more companies like virgin galactic come forth.
One went to Mir in 1990 and another in 1991, so about minus 27 years?
Nevet im broke
Imagine being in the space station for such a long time then coming back down to earth and feeling so heavy.
imagine accidentally dropping plates and cups because things just don't float anymore :,)
The Virtual Zookeeper yea when they land they have to be litterally carried out of their pod or whatever its called and let to rest so they can adapt back to regular life
Just like coming out of the water, after swimming for a long time. You feel like a ton of bricks!
The Virtual Zookeeper true
That’s why they constantly exercise to ensure that they are still strong enough for earths gravity when they return :)
Lucky cameraman got a free ride
quantum tunneller yeah
quantum tunneller yeah
nice observation
@@a.harshvardhan9611 you broke it
@@zurich_ yeah?
I often have zero-G dreams. One of the best things about that is it's free.
???
me 2! In one dream though, i realized i wasnt in zero G, cause i saw bubbels and suddenly i was under water
Hahaha lol dude
You can get a ticket for 5600 dollars
Lucky that seems like so mischievous fun
It’s literally impossible for me not to be happy while seeing how happy she is. Wish I could be that happy normally
Think about it. You are happy
I understand..... I totally understand how to wish to be happy, but never quite make it😢
@@vegasspaceprogram6623 appriciate small things! look around you and enjoy whats happening at the moment. Make yourself happy, even though it sounds maybe impossible for u
Same
You should be pinned for being such a good person.
This is definitely on my bucket list!
It's only 5 thousand dollars. I know that's not cheap, but if you really want to do it, do it! Yolo!
Samee
My also
Yeah, no
5k is a lot cheaper than actually going to space and experiencing it, definitely on my bucket list too
the tickets for this cost 5,400. Imagine how much it would cost to actually go into space.
no, my name is tyler idk man it’s pretty expensive, I think at *least* 10. 4 is too low.
@no, my name is tyler you got a deal
no, my name is tyler oh that definitely it. You might be over paying them with CHOCOLATE I mean.
Bout tree fiddy
100.5 idk
Pilot: *Serious Flight
People In There: *Playing Like Kids
When all ur life u thought u couldn’t fly on earth: 😵
Xd
planes and helicopters: am i a joke to you?
shes already having more fun and excitement than i did my whole life
Same
Same
Same
Awesome video!
Imagine 100 or 200yrs into the future when space flight will be common and kids will watch such videos and be like...
"pffft.. pathetic"
Kevin Nyandika why would they think it’s pathetic?
Asef Jamil Ajwad but why would they think we’re pathetic? We don’t look back at the times where tv or cars didn’t exist and think, “pfffft... pathetic” we’ll be “the past” or “the olden days” to them, doesn’t mean we’re pathetic🤷🏻♀️😂
I can't wait.
I feel like that's what kids already say when they watch. lol
Realistically it’s more like in the next 50-100 years
This is so FREAKING COOL
I AM, I WILL, I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS MY LIFES MISSION TO GO ON
Yasss same¡¡!
K
yall do realize that the cheapest ticket is literally $5000 right?
@@neptunez3495 yes😂
Butter Cake then get ready for the most expensive plane ride of your life lol
I’m having a marathon of these space videos, There so addicting!
Absolutely :))
@The Verys *addicter
What happens when you fart at zero gravity?
Oh no
@natalia ig lol
natalia ig lol xD
Yum
Ik ik! I looked this up btw. If you are in a spaceship, the gases in farts are flammable. So, basically you have very little time before...
How does your hair stay so neat?
It doesn’t
@@bobmusil1458 correct. but then, why do they use ridiculous hairspray on ISS then?
Red Coyote Jam Garden So what are you trying to say, that they are not really in space on the ISS?
She uses hairspray to make it stay
5 pounds of hairspray, LOL
Since it's parabolic trajectory, i expect it'll be like when you're on the highest point of jumping on trampoline.
I’m so jealousss I wanna feel zero gravity, but I’m glad you got to experience it lol
Dramamine. The go-to motion sickness drug. Good chance it was the "downer" she was talking about, but it's not enough of a downer to make you fall asleep that easily, so it'd be enough by itself. Granted, I've never used it in zero G, but it's a godsend in cars & on boats.
Scopolamine was best.
Whomping Walrus every time I take Dramamine it instantly knocks me out! I must be sensitive to the downers :/
Of all the 0G/"Vomit Comet" videos on CZcams, I think you have created my favorite - well done!
your guys are doing great always love watching the verge science videos
I wanna go on that flight once!!!!
do it. It costs $5k
@@blackkissi go fund me here I come😂
Only once? Dream big my man
I do but I don’t wanna puke
@@AwesomepuppygirlHolt we
Oh, and best zero-g hair of all time.
I love these kinda videos keep up the good work
People get to do their dreams while other people are stuck in quarantine
Sadly
This is 2018...
:,( yea
This video is from 2018 lol
Jealous, some?
Me:watches this
Also meh: no wonder Uraraka gets sick when she uses her quirk
RIGHT THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
I- I never thought abt that-
@@user-yu3lb3nz1u oof it’s alright deku
Mha fans I’m in:)
IKR
7:10 id open that bag mid flight
PeatsProjects Simpsons did it
open it in space and you dont need oxygen supplies anymore!
they can play with candy and water ironically you can see some of the candy near her head when she said someone threw up 😂😂
Really love your videos!
Awesome, and that red hair looks great floating around ❤
I love how the mic just floats there and he doesn’t have to hold it
I would want to go on one of these but the fear of other people's vomit floating around me is terrifying 😂
Thanks, love this channel.. :D
that's soo cool!! and soo much fun too watch!
That looks really fun. I love swimming but this is far more fascinating. I’d definitely take the medication that’s suggested even though I’m not normally one to get airsick because I’ve been on planes a lot of times and it doesn’t bother me. I sense this may be far more different than an average plane ride.
When she said "if you get going in one direction its hard to recover" my directioner heart really felt that.
Ayyy directionerrrrr
@@tanveenkaur4091 hahaha hello!! Ily ❤️
Hazza's Zebra1D i just love it when i see directioners on random vids❤️😂
@@tanveenkaur4091 lol same
OMG SAME
in other word, it is called airtime. As a kid we use to go on the swing and jump off while the swing is going forward at mid height. You can jump off higher, but you risk injuries.
I want to do this so so so so so SO much! Great video.
Omggg I just got an idea! This would be perfect for a mermaid movie, I mean then the mermaid actors could talk ”under water” and the backround could only be edited to look like the sea!
Yes
No thats a bad idea. Its a expensive and unrealistic idea. There is better and easier ways to do it
Yes
Crystalcave[.]___ Cookie[.]-- im just realistic
Marie Larsen it's just an idea, 🤷🏼♀️
It is amazing Really I want to try This feeling
I was given Dramamine, before surgery, and that stuff really helps!
Great video!
im literally smiling the whole 7 minutes : ))
6:28 No amount of preparation for me to resist the smell of vomit, The smell alone is enough for me to join the party. lol
I'll never feel bored if the 14 hours journey to Seoul from London is full of such experiences
Great video. I couldn't stop smiling.
Wow, I've never seen them do martian and moon gravity on these before, that's so cool!
I'd like to do mainly martian or lunar gravity on that plane, with a couple arcs of weightlessness. Seems like it would be more fun to be able to jump really far in the lunar gravity. Or even go 1/10 gravity so you can pull some sweet spins while jumping really far...
Me at the start of the episode, this looks cool, if a bit familiar.
When Loren's mom is on the phone: ohh I've definitely seen this. Maybe let's watch a bit more.
At the end: Ohh it's done already?... That was fun.
Also, I ove my family, but it'd be cool to have aerospace-working relatives.
omg this gave me so much serotonin I WISH i could experience this someday
I've always had an interest in space too and that plane looks so fun 😀😀
It's a good thing we have gravity or else when birds died they'd just stay right up there.
Hunters would be all confused.
Yes that is the most important thing about gravity
Alright. Give this a break, whoose the troll here?
Lmaooo that’s hilarious😂😂😂
Wow
Assuming gravity was being lost. If there was non all along it wouldn't be stst confusing
4:20 "Enemy gate is down" :D
Thanks for doing this video! Hoping to go one day myself to do some research. How'd you prepare for nausea and feeling faint during hyper-G?
adding this to my bucket list
Gonna save up for this.
I have felt just over 3 g and it feels like a car is sitting on your chest.
We all been on a rollercoaster
@@vlmightyderek8463 I have never been on rollercoaster. 🙄
@@yaku_8856 same sadly
I had no problem with about 4g (except for the loop, that was a little terrifying)
this looks so awesome
this video is amazing
omg this seems fun😂 i wanna try it
Reupload from The Verge?
Oh my god! This is genuine happiness!
ThIS Was really Amazing 👍🏻🤗
*I've just started a new dream!* Thank u Verge,for the mortivation provided
when i see what you were doing i felt like ive done that before
Thanks for this! Used it in my science class! The kids loved it :-)
Well, interesting scientifically and technically also - but actually one of the happiest video I have ever seen! : ) I wonder what could be the music theme coming in at 5:48? These science videos sometimes feature simple but affective synth instrumentals I like in itself : D
But actually though you would experience free fall as soon as the pilot starts pushing back down, way before the peak
who else watches videos like these knowing that you’ll probably never get the chance to do this and start to get rly jealous and sad
0:06 Yes! NEWARK,NJ. Home sweet home.
I WANNA GO THERE!! Thats like my dream place. I love this😁💓.
If i ever go there that will be the perfect B-day present Or date...i love learning about space and this experience is awesome.
I really wanna do tht but i even feel suffocated while watching this😂😂
This is my dream to I’m so much into space ima be a space scientist
The people in VR are having a great time. The people watching them in VR are amazed.
Love the Crypt of the Necrodancer music at the start
6:40 what’s up Chris!
you mentioned preparation for avoiding getting sick. Might I ask, what methods of preparation did you do? For those of us who wish to enjoy one of these flights and know what is the best way to prepare for it
Drugs
From what I heard, people just get motion sick, because their brain is still trying to figure where is "up" and "down", because it's used to "down" where the gravity is. In Zero-G, all of that mismatches.
You can use your feet as a pseudo-"down", if you focus.
Also maybe don't eat or drink right before. An empty stomach can't puke. if you are unsure, ask for medicine.
@@Sypaka establishing a specific orientation actually does help. Its why no one got sick on the Mercury or Gemini flights, because the astronauts were firmly strapped into a single position, and always maintained that orientation.
With Apollo, however, not only were there multiple "up" positions in the Command Module, but when you go "down" into the Lunar Module, you are not only upside down, but its connected at a weird turn angle, further throwing things off.
Not surprising that one out of every three Apollo astronauts got space sick in the early days
@@k1productions87 Being strapped may be for safety as well. As as they established a fixed point in Zero-G to be DOWN, well it works. With out any fixpoint, you have to make your own and stop thinking in 2D directions. "Down" should be where your body+legs point. not the "Down" of the surroundings.
@@Sypaka That is why the statistics in Zero G airplanes is considerably more favorable. Some people still get sick, but not nearly the same degree. Most of us recognize what the floor and ceiling of an airplane are, so they remain somewhat constant
Nice video!
Great video. Hopefully ill get a chance ti do this some day
Why did it feel like I was right there?
I can't believe no one did the super man pose 🤦🏻♂️😢
This was so interesting 🙌🏻🚀
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad you had a blast. But for me just watching it make me feel sick. Not for me, I guess. :)
They almost got the parabolas right. Weightlessness actually starts prior to the peak of the parabola, this way they are able to have longer periods of zero G and still be safe. Its like throwing a ball up in the air, the ball experiences zero G as soon as you let go of it and that's very similar to what's happening on the plane.
They did show that in the diagram
did TINKER-BEL give them the powder to enable them to fly :)
Mr. Dought my first thought while watching this video was “so Peter Pan IS real!”.
Looks so Fun! Hope I try it! 👽💕
nice and interesting video!
Is it just me or is Loren like a red headed celtic goddess !! WOW
0:22 I would be dazzled just from the unique experience of entering an airplane from its rear.
This is amazing. Now I'm off to look for flights near me for one day in the (hopefully) not too distant future
1:24 Love the pregnant pause before she says Newark airport 😂😂😂
I'm not the first, I'm not the second, it's not my birthday, I just want a heart from my idol who loves the universe just like me! I know that after a while I will write a comment and I hope it is ok
I am pretty sure that I've seen this video before a few months ago.......
Your vidéo make me so happy and a little sad at the same Time because I feel so chained to this planet
I feel terrified and excited at the same time at what it must feel to be in Zero G. Even in slides it's hardly Zero G so it's hard to even tell the difference but in this flight the experience must be uncomparable. Those who get to experience Zero G are truly the fortunate ones and the luckiest.
How much does it cost?
In Europe is 6000€
About $5k
@@mr.steallyogirl9615 thats super expensivr 😭
If someone did vomit. Would it float?? 😂
According to gravity
Yep
Yaaaa...
And that would be very horrible
yeah
Yep gross
The pure joy she was feeling and showing during the free-floating… That’s only a partial glimpse of what people experience when under the influence of certain drugs. Maybe that can help folks understand why people become addicted and their minds chase that feeling forever.
That puking part stuck in my mind.
Is it just me who heard the rude bald headed man say: GET DOWN
Not really rude it's just a precaution so he needs to get everyone's attention
@@ZBLAP Mmmhm okay thanks for telling me
@@cxmryn983 if they dont listen thwy could be seriously hurt.
The plane only stays at 0G while there at the top of the "arc" there flying in.
When they start descending it turns into 1.8G meaning they would all be pulled to the plane floor from midair.
@@xXSinForLifeXx MMMMHM OKAY
I’m gonna get a SUBARU!
This is a pretty cool thing, I hope it becomes a more common thing in the future.
I feel like this is a re upload but it seems much better than the first time so I'm good
