Zero gravity

Anyone know a place in Victoria where there is a zero gravity experience ?

    About 3km above any postcode 3000+ - just outside the atmosphere, beyond the stratosphere

      Or you could also go jump on a trampoline. Any object that is falling freely is weightless.

      Also, the pull of gravity will still affect you at that altitude — the International space station for example, flies at an altitude of 350KM above the surface of the earth, but it's still getting pulled around by gravity forces.

      The astronauts inside experience weightlessness because the ISS is actually falling towards the earth, but it's altitude doesn't change because they're orbiting around the earth at a speed of 28,000 KMH, which is enough to ensure the curvature of it's path matches the curvature of the earth.

    Looks like you just found yourself a crazy business idea.
