Dr. Stephen Hawking, the brilliant physicist disabled physically by
ALS, experienced weightlessness today on Zero Gravity Corporation's modified Boeing 727. The aircraft was scheduled to make six zero-g-simulation parabolas, but Hawking didn't want to stop, and eight were performed. Hawking pronounced the experience "amazing" and is looking forward to a trip on a private suborbital
rocketplane in the near future. An anxious medical staff on board found the ride gave Hawking no problems at all.
