And finally – adventurous unusualnesses, pt. 7: going cosmic (zero-gravity).
First – a review of the series:
Part 1: Ocean-going adventures
Part 2: South Pole & North Pole adventures
Part 3: Land-based (road and rail) adventures
Part 4: Chartered… train adventure
Part 5: Beijing Bird-Nest Stadium adventure
Part 6: Volcanic, cockpit & air-pocket adventures
And finally, closing the series – an aerial weightlessness adventure!…
Ten 25-second bursts of complete weightlessness – zero-gravity: just like what astronauts endure when in a space ship or station in outer space! And we experienced it in this here special Roscosmos astronaut-training airplane ->
Oh my gravity-less! A simply cosmic experience!
And I’ve been lucky enough to try this twice – in 2014 and 2018. And I want another go!…
And I’ve gotten myself a ticket for a suborbital flight on Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic – so, fingers crossed, one day my adventures will take on cosmic proportions!…
However, I may never make the flight; but if someone wants my ticket (No. 250) for a fair price – welcome!…
You might expect I’d have been on the International Space Station by now, but, alas – no. I did prepare – including quitting smoking! – but I didn’t pass the physical (. Never mind: there’s plenty to see and do on Earth yet! I still dream of one day traveling through space though…
And that is it folks. Awesome-adventure travel-experience series (sea > land > roads/rail > stadiums > volcanoes > cosmos (almost) – done!
Hope you enjoyed.
Back soon – literally with new adventures: of the safari kind in Africa!…
