As an experienced sailor I expected to have no problem with this flight. Well Ellie, as you know, I beat you to the seats. But, the experience was weel worth the expense and time. Wonderful video for certain!

Interviewing the astronauts after the Zero G flight showed extreme professionalism.

Thanks Ellie for sharing your Zero-G experience with us😅. It was a brave and daring decision. I have heard that many clients have been known to change their minds at the very last second, as the plane begins to taxi for flight, due to undiagnosed Claustrophobia or Vertigo or a sudden onset of a Fear of Fiying.

Latam airlines now provides this experience on some of their 787 flights.

Fabulous narration Ellie and great video editing!! Thanks for sharing the details of your preparations for the trip in 0 G space. Sorry for your sickness.

Feel sorry for you regarding the actual experience Ellie, but all of your efforts to produce good video for us are very much appreciated!

You're a good sport Ellie, that's what keeps me interested in your reporting. You hit the nail on the head, we are not built for this. Yet top fighter pilots can pull extended +9G, while turning their head with a heavy helmet on, and stying in full control of the jet. Thanks for the honest report, a real eye opener.

Very well done. Your narration and editing is top notch!

12:30 you clearly don't feel well. thanks for taking us along and sharing the experience!

Ellie, I do alot of deep sea fishing, I grew up sailing, and I lived on a ship for years in the Navy. You would be surprised how many people get sea sick! I am so sorry you didn't get the best experience but I am happy for you that you did experience it. I will say that people do get used to the motion sickness after prolonged experience so maybe you will be able to do it again and not get sick!

Outstanding Ellie. This video truly explains the practicalities and realities of the zero-g experience like nothing I've ever seen before.

3:14 Fighter pilots have the benefit of seeing the horizon to get their sense of balance whereas on Zero-G you don't have that benefit. I remember feeling sick on a ship and someone told me to go up on deck and focus my eyes on the horizon. With that in mind Zero-G could use a big screen TV showing what the pilot sees.

Thanks Ellie! A very comprehensive report! Puking is part of the whole experience especially if you are not conditioned for it. I had trouble understanding Manley's graphics representation of your flight. It is intended to show the view from way overhead (because that is the Gulf below), but then why does the flight cross (left to right or right to left) again and again? What is that representing? Anyway, you look great and especially your hair was in top form!

What i like about your channel is you cover a variety of topics.

Great information! Thank you so much for telling us about your experience!

I think I'd feel the same way with motion sickness. Thanks Ellie for keeping it honest and open.

Excellent video! I have a friend who is not in the least interested in space, but when I told her last week about this video she got very interested. I can't wait for this to be posted so I can share it with her.

Sort of brings back memories of my time enjoying the experience at IFly years ago. (IFly is a tube and you get to see what skydiving is like without the need to jump out of an aircraft.)

Great video. Thank you for sharing your honest experience.

Excellent journalism of something I have wanted to do since I first heard of the vomit comet early in college. Thanks for posting the good and bad, and getting lots of the prep prior to the parabolas

8:37 I think the plane was so loud because it is a 727. Those are notoriously loud because of the low bypass engines. They don't even make those planes anymore. Really cool to see one still flying though.

Oh no 🤢. That sounds horrible to be trapped in there when you feel this bad. Hats off to you for doing the interviews after that! I learned the hard way that I'm not built for the sea and got really sick on the tour to Skellig Michael in Ireland (the rocky island where Luke Skywalker was stranded). I was so sick that I couldn't move for 30minutes after climbing up the stairs to the pier. But I didn't need to throw up. The captain said it gets better faster if you do. 🤷‍♂️

Great video Ellie, super informative and cool! I feel for you getting sick on this adventure. I do get a bit messed up on the ocean sometimes, but never had a problem on roller coasters, maybe someday I’ll get a chance for the zero G flight!

@EllieinSpace... So Awesome... Luved the blue locks flying round.. Did this 30 yrs ago in Australia on a militry aircraft for about 12 seconds.. fun!

Great content. Thanks for enduring what you did for our entertainment and education.

Love your honesty!

Love this video, it deserves way more views. 🤙🏽

Thanks again for a great vidio. Congrats on your experience.

Thank you! I was afraid you would choose not to share this because it was a bad experience for you, but I'm so glad you did!

Awesome video Ellie! I will probably never ride the vomit comet, so your sharing was the next best thing. Probably the closest was flying a Cessna 172 and having it suddenly drop a few hundred feet and being scrunched up against the ceiling and then dropping back into the seat, so I was probably weightless for 1/2 a second.

Ellie, if you ever have the chance to go to space make sure you stay there for a t least a week or more. Your motion (zero g actually) sickness will go away after a few days, trust me ;)

I had a flight instructor when I was learning to be a pilot who had bad motion sickness. Even very mild flight maneuvers would make him pull out his little bag and barf into it. He’d then put away the bag and resolutely just get back to the lesson. I always wondered why he put himself through that misery on literally every single flight. But some people love doing what they do just that much.

Hey, I just wanna shout out the guy at 10:33 wearing the Vision Pro! 😂 So cool. Thanks Ellie for your honest reporting and sorry you didn’t get to enjoy the whole experience. Thankfully it sounds like space is different.

Ellie, you should get into freediving. Neutral buoyancy freediving with a weight belt is a great way to experience a weightless feeling. It’s the closest you can come to “flying”

Fabulous! At 73, I've dreamed of space flight since Junior High School. Congratulations! 🙂

#1 Space Lady ✨✨💖👍

I get motion sick and had trouble when I first started skydiving. With a prescription, I managed, and later got to where I could jump without the medicine. So you can get use to it, to some extent with repeated exposure. Bob Hoover (famous pilot) described how he struggled with and overcome motion sickness. So there is hope if you have something that you love and it makes you sick.

Great video. I would do it if I could - maybe I get sick, maybe I don't, either way, looks like fun.

You are so brave to do this!

Very cool sorry you got sick

Very cool experience! I would love to do that someday. I wonder how much the visual chaos on the flight contributes to the motion sickness. There's a lot of activity happening in close proximity that you wouldn't in a "real" zero-G environment. That, and the gravity changing several times, not giving you a prolonged period to adjust.

Kool 👍😁

Thank you 👍👍👍

Ellie you was with Charlie Duke, a moon astronaut!!

Liked you since we saw you on tv in the Tri-cities. Great reporting!

One can do nauseating exercises for a month, then drop it 2-3 days before the event, then the tolerance and headroom will be high. It worked for me once, I only tested it in a kids carousel though. My nausea slightly lingers for a day, so all it took was a minute of spinning/stopping/tilting head etc. every night. I just wonder how healthy it is to keep doing it for a long time, but I guess we're meant to pick berries and stuff anyway (which makes me sick).

If you try it again, get a doctor prescribed Scopalomine transdermal patch. I get severe seasickness, and these patches worked for me. Dramamine and Bonine, not so much.

No comments about Charlie Duke being on board, an Apollo-16 moonwalker. I would have wanted to speak with him about his recollections of zero-G over 50 years later.

I used to do that when I was a Cessna 172 pilot. You have to have a fine control on the plane to keep things suspended in front of you, otherwise, things just fly up and fall down in the cockpit. I used to float my daughter's teddy bear for her. She loved it, but her mother got pretty pissed when she found out. I was once on an observation ride in a jump plane. After the jumpers left I asked the pilot to float me. He wasn't very good at it. He didn't have that fine control to keep things suspended in the cockpit. He bounced me off the ceiling and slammed me to the floor a couple of times before I said enough. I'd like to go on the vomit commit, but $10K to watch people flailing about the passenger compartment really isn't worth it to me. You did fine, but it looks like most of those people need to just take it easy and not try so hard to make it happen. You want to float, not bounce around like a ping-pong ball.

Got the Zero-G Kiss done before joining Chuck Chunder in the Space Patrol...

Next up we need to put Ellie in Space IN space!

GREAT EXPERIENCE! Don't feel bad about barfing - I did same. I won Air Combat USA, and low and behold it was fun, but I barfed also... so don't feel bad. GREAT Experience, do it again. Once Starship get's going, maybe there should be a dedicated starship to allow everyday people to experience space.

Thanks, Ellie. I’m happy that you are my guinea pig.

Thanks for sharing your experience Ellie. Sorry that it did not work out as you had hoped. Do you think physical fitness has something to do with it as well? I recall when you started your channel you were always climbing, running, exercising, etc. You might still do that and just not mention or film it anymore, but if you don't, could that contribute to your experience? I saw that Dough of the Crew 1 dragon was on your flight and he always looks super-fit

Ellie not everyone, is meant for dynamic flight or space travel.

Did you look for the Tom Hanks autograph on the inside of the fuselage? "Apollo 13"

I appreciate your transparency about the censored experience

1:19 "Zero G is not for Me". Should be for sale on T shirts soon.

What might actually be more dangerous could be over 1g, maybe much more than 1 g. Even worse, > 1 g in a direction where the blood gets pushed toward your head. That actually sounds scary a.f.

Around 9:00 you see the European NoveSpace Airbus plane I've been on in 2016. It's a lot bigger and quieter than the 727. It also has windows in the seating area, but none in the Zero-G zone. I got sick after 10 of 16 parabolas but didn't puke. I'd do it again and this time take the medication. Me stupid fool thought I don't need it because I'm experienced sailor...

I would love to try this, but like you, I have terrible motion sickness. As a kid, carnival rides of all kinds didn't bother me but as an adult, now they do. Even a bumpy ride on a commercial flight, at the bottom of an air pocket is the worst. My stomach gets the horrible feeling & my head gets confused headachy nausea etc. etc.

All that said, the fact that you tried it means you have conditioned your mind to understand your situation. Meaning you have conditioning. I'd say, get back up on that horse and come at it from a new perspective that you can do this. Medications are not the way. It's mindset. Medications become a crutch (you should be familiar with crutches). Sharpening your mindset is what fighter pilots excel at. It's not easy, but it literally comes down to your mind. Having that skill set is good for life in general.

So now there is finally some untethered low gravity running/hopping/walking on a level surface footage somewhere. I always wanyed to see that. Edit: I meant also without a heavy space suit.

Considering your background Girl you did very well … had you only had a liquid diet for two days before you still might have had issues. Lovely of you to take us all along .

I like the guy wearing the Vision Pro

You got to experience "space" with a real moonwalker (Charlie Duke / Apollo 16). How cool was that!

Sounds exhausting like scuba diving is for me. I would go home after a day of scuba diving and sleep for 12-14 hours.

If I die without ever seeing anyone barf, I can live with that.

Maravilha de documentário

"chances are you've never been to space" how in the hell did she know that?

The person constantly just kicking and punching the invisible ailen was driving me nuts. Watching this and a pland full of freaks, im good. 2 many ppl acting like fools in zero g

Good to know thanks! ten grand no thanks...a holiday on a beach makes much more sense!

I was jealous first but after watching your account of the experience I was like, NOPE! :D

Do they still have the 3G simulator at Huntsville, AL? I rode that when I was a kid, more than 40 years ago. I didn't read the warning signs, so I was tapping Dad on the shoulder, turning my head, and proving to not be affected by the added G forces. This Zero G experience has an added issue, the jet. Jet motion is difficult on the body. Everyone that has traveled on a jet for more than 5 hours knows about jet lag. I found a high protein diet helps to recover, but you still have to recover. One of my long flights was 16 hours from Chicago to Japan. We were going against the jet stream, so the jet was having to constantly course correct. It felt like a sine wave for most of the flight, and it took a week to get over that feeling. I do not advise getting on a boat for a 4 hour cruise after that kind of flight! When I got to my final destination in the Philippines, I was worn out and very close to getting sick. Most of my team was sick, even with a 2 day break in Manila. Your ability to handle these changes, adjusts as you age. Wait 5 years then try it again. Don't give up on a bad experience!

Yeah! It''s terrible that "eat a regular breakfast before you arrive" is written in their faq! What and when did you eat and drink before Zero-G?

Ginger root... Dramamine doesn't work.. ginger root... Myth busters proved it. It worked for me and all my customers

Hadn’t thought about barfing in 2 G.

Is the 0-G simulated by the plane diving down in combination with how high it is in the sky?

Doesn't the nausea depend a lot on what you're looking at? If you can find a steady view to fix on, it might help a lot.

Her face at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale.

Surprised they make them fly over the gulf waters instead of the east shores. Then again, the east waters are probably busy with space and military activities, also international water boundaries.

Ive got to give you credit for being honest about the whole thing. It would have been tempting to pretend that everything was fine, and quietly drop any mention of barfing, so a thumbs up on giving a real account of things rather than the glossy veneer some others might have been tempted to present.

Hope the kiss was before the barfing!

No I'm not going to show you the barf haha nice Ellie

The first rule of Barf Club is no one talks about Barf Club

15:00 Well then, what percentage do you suppose are invincible?

Don't use the non-Drowsy formula. Doesn't work for me either. Use the old standard Dramamine.

I love the streams that have nothing to do with that freak Elon and spacex.

They should rename the company freefall. Because that's what you're doing. It's not even zero G on ISS.

Were there any parts of this experience that you DID enjoy? Hopefully there were...

I think you can get used to it after some time.

ellie no one is intresested in the negative aspects. only positive news.

That'll pass! I think it's ok 0-G left out the "other stuff" from the gopro videos. It could've triggered a similar reaction from some viewers! 🤣🤣

Yeah ... If I see stomach contents I'm out! Good luck if the next one!

Don't eat for two days. Got it. 😂

You had your own RUV event!! (Rapid Unscheduled Vomiting) 😝 🤮

FRAU MARLISA AHL SA BERLIN MO ADTO KO SA MARS AKUNG TRABAHO MAGHIMO OG DAX TANAN MAHAL ELON 💕 SA MARS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I could see how tired you were, in your eyes.

They call it a Vomit Comet for a reason 😜😉

I told you "Bonine", not Dramamine. Commercial fisherman all use Bonine. Dramamine is useless.
