The Vomit Comet | When James May met Martin Archer | Head Squeeze

Have you ever been into space? James was lucky enough to go on a vomit comet. A vomit comet is a reduced gravity aircraft (or as Martin would call it, an aircraft that goes into free-fall (on a parabolic trajectory), resulting in apparent weightlessness) which provides a weightless environment. It doesn't reach the dizzy heights of the International Space Station but it does travel in the troposphere.

Although James claims it didn't make him sick, we here at Head Squeeze HQ don't fully believe him! Apparently there is a weightless man floating around with a big net scooping up all the vomit that is floating around. Lovely!
Do you get motion sick easily? Give us a thumbs up if you do!
