but inside you re still floating relative to the spaceship. so that s the zero g feeling that you get. once they dom back to the atmosphere skand engage all the arrow surfaces, that s when they pick up the g s and that zero time will be over for them. miles o brien also with us. viewers know you ve been covering the space programs, plural, for decades. what feels different about this one for you, miles? brian, takes me back to 2004 when we watched the space flight three times and at that time we thought, oh, this is going to be widely adopted for a lot of people within five years. here we are 17 years later, and this is finally happening. space is hard. some people died along the way, and the question we have to all ask ourselves, is this worth it,
plane. so the acceleration is a little bit different. but the profile basically that s three times your weight is being pushed against you is when you talk about going up, you know, mach 3 or that s the kind of feel that you have. but when get in weightlessness for the three to four minutes that we are there, i think that everybody is going to are this incredible feeling of awe, but it s not the weightless ness. i think it s more the view. my understanding is that unity turns around so that people can actually see the arc of the earth. and from that height you can start to see the arc of the earth. and so that starts to work on your perspective. that s what makes you, i think, feel that you are in space even more so than the zero g feeling. what did you feel when you first saw that view?
