Calling on NSC's vast fount of knowledge and experience again.

I've been offered the chance to do one of these next year, and to experience both lunar gravity and full microgravity.

Obviously I've accepted and am looking forward to it, but also reading up and seeing that 2/3 of people who do them become ill in the process.

Anyone on here done one and can offer any tips or insight?

I once flew Aeroflot, it's a very similar experience. My tip is to not eat anything for 24 hours before.

Yep, a few throw up. The crew are well prepared for that though. Do it - it's just sky-diving in an aluminium tube, after all.

I'd be more worried about the other people throwing up!

a latex gimp suit combined with a large day-glow strap on should give others on the flight enough of a distraction that they will not even consider chucking up.
