Extreme Weight Loss Program
Last week, when I posted that I was attending an extreme weight loss program in Las Vegas, it turned out to be a bit of a test to see if people actually clicked on the link. I will post more later (I have a bid due today and am jamming on that) but here is a picture
Your humble correspondent is roughly in the center, heading at high speed towards a looming equal-and-opposite-direction-type disaster with the camera man. It is all well and good to fully intellectualize the laws of mechanics in zero-g, and quite another to convince your body's motor control system to accept them.
That,s my boy (and granddaughter). I'm so proud! This is why I spent all that money on Princeton and Harvard.
Very cool! Bonus: I notice that you've changed out of the standard issue black polo shirt! ;-)
I take it that by now you have gained back all the weight you lost. Talk about a yo-yo weight loss plan. If you lose 100% of your weight and gain it all back, the increase is astronomical
Wow, you really slimmed down in that pic. You look great.
Been there, done that - 'cept when it ain't supposed to happen it's known as an oh, sh*t moment.
Indeed, reducing gravity is a much more certain weight loss scheme than all that work losing mass.
Wicked cool!
Brings back distant memories of my father flying "astronauts" in his small plane with the family aboard. We would get, at most, 10 seconds of micro-g, long enough to bring up the lint from beneath the seats. My brother and I would bring random objects to watch tumble around the cabin, we were not permitted to release our seatbelts, alas.
Keep us posted should you ride Branson's rocket!
Brings back a few memories too...
When I first got my pilots license, I would entertain myself by flying a pack of cigarettes from the top of the instrument panel into my pocket. Needless to say, almost zero-G. Also rather fun - to put your focus on the object rather than the aircraft.
When I was in the Navy, during P-3 rocket firings, I would sometimes go aft and float around in the several seconds of zero G during the maneuver.
A vomit comet, however, might be a bit more challenging, as the zero G lasts a lot longer. Hope you had fun and kept it down (or wherever your stomach is in zero G).
Wow does that look fun!!
