Zero Gee


Stephen Hawking floated in Zero Gravity this week. As I write this I have a huge smile on my face. It was one "good thing" that happened this week. One of the most brilliant minds of our time -- with a body that is ravaged by ALS, and who is able to communicate only with a computer synthesized voice, had the courage to get in a plane and plunge thousands of feet to experience bliss... and as he says, "I could have gone on and on. Space, here I come."


Hawking Quote:


I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars.
