I have been weightless longer than...7/12/2021 ...Richard Branson, who became the first billionaire that came close the edge of space. He got to 86 Km instead of the full 100 km. Virgin Galactic's space plane launched with Branson, three crew members, and two pilots. They spent five minutes floating in zero gravity before the space plane descended back to Earth. In total I spent almost 23 minutes in zero gravity. How? By being part in two parabolic flights onboard AirZeroG's (Novespace) A310. Summing up 62 parabolas of about 22 seconds in microgravity. Cool right?
