Would You Ride 'The Vomit Comet?'

[Donger]

If you were given the chance to fly in the Vomit Comet for free, would you do it?

[KcMizzou]

At the risk of embarrassing myself....

What's a Vomit Comet?

[ChiefsFire]

eww

Don't be embarrassed.

I'm assuming it's a ride of some kind?

[Demonpenz]

i think it is the plane that nose dives so it you can float around inside

You seriously don't know?

[KcMizzou]

You seriously don't know?Seriously.

[Demonpenz]

the only reason why i know is i just watched the jackass episode when the guys were throwing up and it comes out of balls of vomit

[elvomito]

i would do it. twice.

[Simplex3]

Yes, yes I would.

[cdcox]

I'm 100% positive I'd paint the walls of the fuselage. Still, I'd have to consider it. I'd want to hear from previous riders what they thought. With nausea medicine I'd definitely give it a try.

[noa]

I would definitely do it.

[Bugeater]

I'd do it, but I sure as hell wouldn't eat beforehand.

[Donger]

Seriously.

Oh.

It's the colloquial name for the aircraft that NASA trains astronauts for microgravity. It flies a number of parabolas, producing about 20 seconds of weightlessness on the downside, then about +3gs on the upside. Repeat.

[KcMizzou]

I rode the Comet in 1994. It was a KC-135. A HS buddy was stationed at Patrick AFB and he arranged the ride.

If you do it, don't eat before you get on, you will see lunch twice unless you are hard core. It took the third arc before I lost it.

Would I do it again? You bet!

[BigMeatballDave]

HELL YES!

[TinyEvel]

Yes, yes, and HELLZ yes!

[kepp]

Definitely
