Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking will be accompanied by his doctors and nurses during the trip, offered by Zero Gravity Corp. He is the first person with a disability to experience microgravity.
After one plunge, his health will be reassessed by his care takers and a decision will then be made whether he is capable of continuing the experience.
Zero Gravity has waived the trip fee for Hawking and his caretakers.

Words expressed by Hawking after his eight parabolic manoeuvres.
His next goal is to ride into space on the first commercial Virgin Galactic suborbital space flight, planned for 2009.

Professor Hawking has such an amazing attitude. Many people in his situation might get depressed but he, at 65, is still reaching for the stars! (Apologies for the bad pun  )
