its not in space its a parabolic flight

No, it's the International Space Station. If I'm not mistaken, STS-127 that is lifting off Sunday, July 13th is supposed to bring him back, and replace him with an American.

what's parabolic flight supposed to mean, dickhead? that it's in a parabol-esque flight around the earth? well most people would call that being in orbit and would call that being in space. dickhead

and if you're talking about those planes taking a zero-g dive for a couple of minutes you're a dickhead, cos if you watch any of those 1) they're obviously inside an aeroplane, not a space station -unless you're suggesting someone has rigged out a plane to look like a space station, the implications of which would make you a dickhead for thinking that, and 2) those zero g drops are pretty imperfect, lots of drifting and swayin about and kind of bein slightly stuck to one wall for a bit and so on

So these are the experiments they carry out in space . . . .
