Stephen Hawking goes Weightless!

Stephen Hawking was able to float free for about 4 min today when he went on the company Zero Gravity's hour long flight for free. Hawking's hope is that someday he will be able to go into space. He also believes that " the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space". Hawking also has a reservation for Virgin Galactic's sub- orbital flights that begin in 2009. Hawking also believes that " private space ventures are vital to reduce the cost of space tourism and make it accessible to a greater number of people". Hopefully Hawking will get his wish!
