      Hi SHS 10C,

      Yes I would! Hoping I would be one of the lucky ones who wouldn’t vomit, of course….

      Simon: Hi SHS 10C! The answer is YES TOTALLY! Actually I have already been on a such a flight when I was a student at the International Space University. We flew for about 45minutes and did 10 parabols. I managed not be sick… it was such a cool feeling! Would you like to try the vomet comet?

      I would love to have a go on the vomit comet (but like Anne would prefer not to vomit!). When I was in air squadron my flight instructor would often drop the plane to make zero gravity for a few seconds and once floated my glove from the dashboard into my lap doing this!!
