coke zero gravity, lol

[sushantmohan]

i was once flying a c 152 n did a - g

a screw came off from somwhere

lol

I am thumbing this video up just based on the fact that the pop cans used to demonstrait Zero gravity are Coke Zero.

I can't handle that feeling in my stomache... It makes me freak out. I hate roller-coasters, or anything that makes that zero G feeling. lol

@Jehovabendova When the Space shuttle is in orbit, it's not in free fall. It's maintaining it's altitude. Gravity can never reach zero. Every object in the universe pulls on other objects in the universe.  It never reaches zero. I don't understand how this floating stuff works, but it's not a lack of gravity. Maybe air pressure.

@cjracer1000 At this point I'm inclined to believe that you are trolling but I will respond anyway. When you see astronauts floating around in a space shuttle, they are at zero gravity but they haven't ''escaped'' the Earth's gravity, it's what is keeping them in orbit! They are experiencing zero gravity because because their orbit is a controlled free-fall. The forward momentum of the shuttle allows them to 'fall around' the Earth. Do some research on orbital mechanics. Free-fall is 0g.

@Jehovabendova I'm pretty sure the ONLY reason that things fall (freely) is because of gravity. Gravity is just pulling on them more if anything.

[Jehovabendova]

@cjracer1000 Yeah it's definitely NOT at 34000 ft. but you CAN simulate zero gravity by making the plane dive at exactly free-fall rate. So although it looks and feels just like true zero gravity, it isn't. That is how they filmed the zero g scenes in the movie Apollo 13 starring Tom Hanks by the way.

@cjracer1000 well i cant change what you believe, but just look up a couple videos. you'll see.

[cjracer1000]

@DjPaen LOL, cessna at 34000 feet? Yeah, like that's possible. You can't escape the earth's gravity.

[DjPaen]

@cjracer1000 hes actually right, diving at such an angle produces about 20-30 seconds of weightlessness, maybe not 0g but way less than 1g. The pilots then begins to pull up, gradually increasing the angle of the aircraft to about 45° to the horizon reaching an altitude of 34,000 feet. During this pull-up, passengers will feel the pull of 1.8 Gs. Next the plane is “pushed over” to create the zero gravity segment of the parabola. For the next 20-30 seconds everything in the plane is weightless.

@SuperTennis3 I don't buy it. This video's Photoshopped. The earth has gravity. To say you can get out of it is just silly. I don't care how steep of a dive you're in, you're not escaping gravity.
