This flight will be carried out in preparation for the flight into space that Hawking requested on his 65th birthday, and which will be possible in 2009 at the earliest

The famous cosmologist Stephen Hawking is scheduled to take off during the month of April 2007 on a vomit comet and experience a bit of the sensation of flying in zero gravity.
He will fly in a Boeing 727 that has been converted for this purpose and which will sail through the air in a parabolic orbit. At the top end of each arch in the runway, the passengers will enjoy 25 seconds of weightlessness. After that, the plane comes back up from the dive and the passengers will experience a force of gravity 1.8 times greater than normal, and God forbid.
Stephen Hawking is very excited about manned space flights, and he has always asked for an opportunity to fly into space - apparently in the planned Virgin Galactic space plane. I wonder if he will have such courage even after the experience of flying in zero gravity. By the way, the cost of Hawking's test flight of $3,750 will be paid by the American company Zero Gravity.
