After all - gravity’s just a habit

I wondered how they did that, since zero gee can't be maintained for very long.
With a good pilot you can get 25-30 seconds of weightlessness per maneuver. Used to do this on Sabreliners while performing other required in-flight tests. There's even a niche market where several companies offer these flights for hire. Saw a cargo 727 that was set up for this in IAH once. It's neat to experience but I never had the room those guys did.
