I wonder if this has truly the same feeling as being in orbit?

[jsposto]

It sure SEEMED to be like what I see astronauts do in video footage. The one difference is the drift factor, the pilot has to adjust how the plane falls through the parabola, and as it is adjusted the "walls move" because the plane starts falling faster or slower than you while you are in the air. I explain it in this 4 year old post: stardancemovie.blogspot.com/20­08/01/stardance-ii-las-vegas-d­rift.html

Take this idea one step farther and equip the dancers with small airjets that they could control with fingertip controls then they would be able to alter speed, trajectory, rotation and orientation while in flight between rebound points. You could even do this to some extent by including descrete bellows inside the costumes that would compress the air when they moved and then let them release it in controlled bursts. Now the purists can scream at me for corrupting the idea of free flight.

@21batbat  - In the actual original story, and in the subsequent screenplay, that is just what happens.

. . .I'm seriously wondering what sex would be like in zero gravity.

@nullrox Remember, Michael Collins was all alone in Apollo 11 while Aldrin and Armstrong were on the Moon; I've often wondered if he jerked off while he was alone.

@jsposto That's perhaps the main reason that flight has its nickname. I imagine you would have preferred a more stable environment to float around. Beautifully done, however. To be that graceful so far outside your environment. Enchanting.

@nullrox i don't know but the clean up must be hard if you decide to cum in zero gravity

Spider Robinson....

[TechFrosts]

@nullrox lots of backflips ;)

[Lex5151]

Me likes earth females

[TCfoxs]

@nullrox Love is in the air.

[Loft1987]

@nullrox it was my first thought too :))

[CaptainMetalwing]

@nullrox Annoying? And you'd have to make sure to blow your load in her or it would be floating around lol

[jsposto]

@andrewpuchala - it was VERY hard to make things stay still for those measly 25 seconds. There were issues in the nature of how the plane goes through the parabola that caused the walls to "move" as well. Check the stardancemovie blog from January 2008.
