In April 2006, Zero-G became the first commercial company to gain permission from the Kennedy Space Center to use its space shuttle runway and landing facilities. [2] On April 21, 2007, it began regular flights from Las Vegas for the general public [7] at ticket prices of US$3,675.
In late 2004, the Zero Gravity Corporation became the first company in the United States to offer so-called "zero-g" flights to the general public, using Boeing 727 jets. Each flight consists of around 15 parabolas, including simulations of the gravity levels of the Moon and Mars, as well as simulation of complete weightlessness. [26]

In fact, it can be enjoyable to have zero gravity in the cockpit. To produce 0g, the aircraft has to follow a ballistic flight path, which is essentially an upside down parabola. This is the only method to simulate zero gravity for humans on earth. In helicopters. In contrast, low-g conditions can be disastrous for helicopters.
"Upside Down & Inside Out" is a song by American rock band OK Go. It was released as a single from their fourth studio album, Hungry Ghosts. The band released a video for the song on February 11, 2016 that featured the members in a zero gravity environment created via flight in a reduced gravity aircraft.
