Professor Hawking experiencing a zero gravity flight. The first person with a disability to experience weightlessness in this manner, the professor blasted off from the Kennedy Space Centre in a specially adapted jet owned by the Zero Gravity Corporation. After the two-hour flight, the professor is quoted as saying, “Space here I come”.
