Stephen Hawking in Zero Gravity

One of Stephen Hawkings dreams is to one day fly in the weightlessness of space (a dream that he and I share). He hasn’t made it to space yet, but this is pretty close. Here he is seen flying in a zero g airplane at a sharp descent allowing up to 25 seconds of apparent weightlessness. The apple is symbolic of Isaac Newton with whom Professor Hawking shares the same chair at Cambridge.
