- This is my true experience of Zero G and I hope it is something you find valuable.
Thank you again to @officialmoondao for giving me this unforgettable ride! I hope these tips help you if you are considering what it REALLY takes to feel like an astronaut!
Hi! I am now FULL TIME Ellie in SPACE!
My channel started as a way to keep people up to date on the world of SpaceX's Starlink, the satellite internet service. The channel has grown to include the broader Elon Musk universe.
Your support for my channel means a lot. Thanks for watching and if you have any video ideas, shoot me an email, eliana.sheriff@gmail.com.

As an experienced sailor I expected to have no problem with this flight. Well Ellie, as you know, I beat you to the seats. But, the experience was weel worth the expense and time. Wonderful video for certain!
I am so proud of you for trying it too! It’s pretty crazy you also succumbed to the sickness as a sailor!
Sailing and air motion are quite different, but I'm the opposite of you - I am totally fine on roller coasters, in flight turbulence (even small aircraft), and sailing on small bodies of water (even if they are choppy), but the slow movement of a calm ocean is horrible unless I'm holding the tiller/wheel and looking at the horizon. I don't know how the Zero-G flight would affect me, but I'm not going to spend $10,000 on it and I don't have fans to buy me a ticket, so I'm not likely to find out.
Latam airlines now provides this experience on some of their 787 flights.
Funny!
Too soon 😂
Yeah, probably too soon, but I laughed out loud anyway!
Ryan air takes orders.@ellieinspace
Interviewing the astronauts after the Zero G flight showed extreme professionalism.
Feel sorry for you regarding the actual experience Ellie, but all of your efforts to produce good video for us are very much appreciated!
Thank you so much!
Fabulous narration Ellie and great video editing!! Thanks for sharing the details of your preparations for the trip in 0 G space. Sorry for your sickness.
I hope it helps someone else!
Thanks Ellie for sharing your Zero-G experience with us😅. It was a brave and daring decision. I have heard that many clients have been known to change their minds at the very last second, as the plane begins to taxi for flight, due to undiagnosed Claustrophobia or Vertigo or a sudden onset of a Fear of Fiying.
Ellie, I do alot of deep sea fishing, I grew up sailing, and I lived on a ship for years in the Navy. You would be surprised how many people get sea sick! I am so sorry you didn't get the best experience but I am happy for you that you did experience it. I will say that people do get used to the motion sickness after prolonged experience so maybe you will be able to do it again and not get sick!
Very well done. Your narration and editing is top notch!
You're a good sport Ellie, that's what keeps me interested in your reporting.
You hit the nail on the head, we are not built for this. Yet top fighter pilots can pull extended +9G, while turning their head with a heavy helmet on, and stying in full control of the jet.
Thanks for the honest report, a real eye opener.
12:30 you clearly don't feel well. thanks for taking us along and sharing the experience!
This video brought back awesome memories: I was fortunate enough to be on the maiden flight of Zero G in 2004. What an experience! You described it perfectly. I had a smile on my face for the whole day at that time and watching your video today (20 years later) had me smiling again. Sorry that you couldn’t enjoy it to the fullest.
8:37 I think the plane was so loud because it is a 727. Those are notoriously loud because of the low bypass engines. They don't even make those planes anymore. Really cool to see one still flying though.
What i like about your channel is you cover a variety of topics.
In the most gentlemanly way I love you to bits for doing this. You are great Ellie. My Dalmatian puppy loves it when I watch your video's. Thank you Wags from Sarge. Stay safe & well xx
Sort of brings back memories of my time enjoying the experience at IFly years ago. (IFly is a tube and you get to see what skydiving is like without the need to jump out of an aircraft.)
Outstanding Ellie. This video truly explains the practicalities and realities of the zero-g experience like nothing I've ever seen before.
I think I'd feel the same way with motion sickness. Thanks Ellie for keeping it honest and open.
Great information! Thank you so much for telling us about your experience!
Great content. Thanks for enduring what you did for our entertainment and education.
I was the Flight Engineer on this flight. What an honor to have Astronaut Charles Duke on board, among other NASA personnel. He was gracious enough to take pictures with us after the flight.
Thank you! I was afraid you would choose not to share this because it was a bad experience for you, but I'm so glad you did!
Thanks Ellie! A very comprehensive report! Puking is part of the whole experience especially if you are not conditioned for it. I had trouble understanding Manley's graphics representation of your flight. It is intended to show the view from way overhead (because that is the Gulf below), but then why does the flight cross (left to right or right to left) again and again? What is that representing?
Anyway, you look great and especially your hair was in top form!
Excellent video! I have a friend who is not in the least interested in space, but when I told her last week about this video she got very interested. I can't wait for this to be posted so I can share it with her.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your honest experience.
Great video Ellie, super informative and cool! I feel for you getting sick on this adventure. I do get a bit messed up on the ocean sometimes, but never had a problem on roller coasters, maybe someday I’ll get a chance for the zero G flight!
Ellie, if you ever have the chance to go to space make sure you stay there for a t least a week or more. Your motion (zero g actually) sickness will go away after a few days, trust me ;)
Awesome video Ellie! I will probably never ride the vomit comet, so your sharing was the next best thing. Probably the closest was flying a Cessna 172 and having it suddenly drop a few hundred feet and being scrunched up against the ceiling and then dropping back into the seat, so I was probably weightless for 1/2 a second.
Oh no 🤢. That sounds horrible to be trapped in there when you feel this bad. Hats off to you for doing the interviews after that!
I learned the hard way that I'm not built for the sea and got really sick on the tour to Skellig Michael in Ireland (the rocky island where Luke Skywalker was stranded). I was so sick that I couldn't move for 30minutes after climbing up the stairs to the pier. But I didn't need to throw up. The captain said it gets better faster if you do. 🤷♂️
Thanks again for a great vidio. Congrats on your experience.
Excellent journalism of something I have wanted to do since I first heard of the vomit comet early in college. Thanks for posting the good and bad, and getting lots of the prep prior to the parabolas
Love this video, it deserves way more views. 🤙🏽
If you try it again, get a doctor prescribed Scopalomine transdermal patch. I get severe seasickness, and these patches worked for me. Dramamine and Bonine, not so much.
3:14 Fighter pilots have the benefit of seeing the horizon to get their sense of balance whereas on Zero-G you don't have that benefit. I remember feeling sick on a ship and someone told me to go up on deck and focus my eyes on the horizon. With that in mind Zero-G could use a big screen TV showing what the pilot sees.
I would have loved to interview the pilot after!!!
@EllieinSpace... So Awesome... Luved the blue locks flying round.. Did this 30 yrs ago in Australia on a militry aircraft for about 12 seconds.. fun!
I get motion sick and had trouble when I first started skydiving. With a prescription, I managed, and later got to where I could jump without the medicine. So you can get use to it, to some extent with repeated exposure. Bob Hoover (famous pilot) described how he struggled with and overcome motion sickness. So there is hope if you have something that you love and it makes you sick.
Hey, I just wanna shout out the guy at 10:33 wearing the Vision Pro! 😂 So cool.
Thanks Ellie for your honest reporting and sorry you didn’t get to enjoy the whole experience. Thankfully it sounds like space is different.
One can do nauseating exercises for a month, then drop it 2-3 days before the event, then the tolerance and headroom will be high. It worked for me once, I only tested it in a kids carousel though. My nausea slightly lingers for a day, so all it took was a minute of spinning/stopping/tilting head etc. every night. I just wonder how healthy it is to keep doing it for a long time, but I guess we're meant to pick berries and stuff anyway (which makes me sick).
#1 Space Lady ✨✨💖👍
Ellie you was with Charlie Duke, a moon astronaut!!
Fabulous! At 73, I've dreamed of space flight since Junior High School. Congratulations! 🙂
You are so brave to do this!
I had a flight instructor when I was learning to be a pilot who had bad motion sickness. Even very mild flight maneuvers would make him pull out his little bag and barf into it. He’d then put away the bag and resolutely just get back to the lesson. I always wondered why he put himself through that misery on literally every single flight. But some people love doing what they do just that much.
Liked you since we saw you on tv in the Tri-cities. Great reporting!
Aww thank you so much!!! I miss the KEPR days!
GREAT EXPERIENCE! Don't feel bad about barfing - I did same. I won Air Combat USA, and low and behold it was fun, but I barfed also... so don't feel bad. GREAT Experience, do it again. Once Starship get's going, maybe there should be a dedicated starship to allow everyday people to experience space.
Love your honesty!
Always!
Very cool sorry you got sick
Ellie not everyone, is meant for dynamic flight or space travel.
Try the underwater habitat in Key Largo…Scott Carpenter he helped start the Neutral Buoyancy tank when he learned to scuba dive. NASA often sends their astronauts to the facility 👍🏻🤩🌊🐠🤩
Got the Zero-G Kiss done before joining Chuck Chunder in the Space Patrol...
Kool 👍😁
Thanks 😁
I appreciate your transparency about the censored experience
I’m glad you didn’t read it as too negative!
Ellie, you should get into freediving. Neutral buoyancy freediving with a weight belt is a great way to experience a weightless feeling. It’s the closest you can come to “flying”
Very cool experience! I would love to do that someday.
I wonder how much the visual chaos on the flight contributes to the motion sickness. There's a lot of activity happening in close proximity that you wouldn't in a "real" zero-G environment.
That, and the gravity changing several times, not giving you a prolonged period to adjust.
I think it didn’t help, especially when my fixed point on the ceiling kept getting covered by flying bodies
Great video. I would do it if I could - maybe I get sick, maybe I don't, either way, looks like fun.
Considering your background Girl you did very well … had you only had a liquid diet for two days before you still might have had issues. Lovely of you to take us all along .
I like the guy wearing the Vision Pro
Thanks, Ellie. I’m happy that you are my guinea pig.
You’re welcome 😊
I used to do that when I was a Cessna 172 pilot. You have to have a fine control on the plane to keep things suspended in front of you, otherwise, things just fly up and fall down in the cockpit. I used to float my daughter's teddy bear for her. She loved it, but her mother got pretty pissed when she found out. I was once on an observation ride in a jump plane. After the jumpers left I asked the pilot to float me. He wasn't very good at it. He didn't have that fine control to keep things suspended in the cockpit. He bounced me off the ceiling and slammed me to the floor a couple of times before I said enough. I'd like to go on the vomit commit, but $10K to watch people flailing about the passenger compartment really isn't worth it to me. You did fine, but it looks like most of those people need to just take it easy and not try so hard to make it happen. You want to float, not bounce around like a ping-pong ball.
Thank you 👍👍👍
Thank you too!
You got to experience "space" with a real moonwalker (Charlie Duke / Apollo 16). How cool was that!
Next up we need to put Ellie in Space IN space!
All that said, the fact that you tried it means you have conditioned your mind to understand your situation. Meaning you have conditioning. I'd say, get back up on that horse and come at it from a new perspective that you can do this. Medications are not the way. It's mindset. Medications become a crutch (you should be familiar with crutches). Sharpening your mindset is what fighter pilots excel at. It's not easy, but it literally comes down to your mind. Having that skill set is good for life in general.
Lol I’d get back on the horse if it weren’t 10 grand a pop! Thanks for the encouragement
Did you look for the Tom Hanks autograph on the inside of the fuselage? "Apollo 13"
No comments about Charlie Duke being on board, an Apollo-16 moonwalker. I would have wanted to speak with him about his recollections of zero-G over 50 years later.
Around 9:00 you see the European NoveSpace Airbus plane I've been on in 2016. It's a lot bigger and quieter than the 727. It also has windows in the seating area, but none in the Zero-G zone.
I got sick after 10 of 16 parabolas but didn't puke. I'd do it again and this time take the medication. Me stupid fool thought I don't need it because I'm experienced sailor...
So now there is finally some untethered low gravity running/hopping/walking on a level surface footage somewhere. I always wanyed to see that. Edit: I meant also without a heavy space suit.
Thanks for sharing your experience Ellie. Sorry that it did not work out as you had hoped. Do you think physical fitness has something to do with it as well? I recall when you started your channel you were always climbing, running, exercising, etc. You might still do that and just not mention or film it anymore, but if you don't, could that contribute to your experience? I saw that Dough of the Crew 1 dragon was on your flight and he always looks super-fit
What might actually be more dangerous could be over 1g, maybe much more than 1 g. Even worse, > 1 g in a direction where the blood gets pushed toward your head. That actually sounds scary a.f.
1:19 "Zero G is not for Me". Should be for sale on T shirts soon.
The person constantly just kicking and punching the invisible ailen was driving me nuts. Watching this and a pland full of freaks, im good. 2 many ppl acting like fools in zero g
Good to know thanks! ten grand no thanks...a holiday on a beach makes much more sense!
I was jealous first but after watching your account of the experience I was like, NOPE! :D
I hear ya Scuba Chris, I hear ya.
I would love to try this, but like you, I have terrible motion sickness. As a kid, carnival rides of all kinds didn't bother me but as an adult, now they do. Even a bumpy ride on a commercial flight, at the bottom of an air pocket is the worst. My stomach gets the horrible feeling & my head gets confused headachy nausea etc. etc.
Maravilha de documentário
Sounds exhausting like scuba diving is for me. I would go home after a day of scuba diving and sleep for 12-14 hours.
Hope the kiss was before the barfing!
Ginger root... Dramamine doesn't work.. ginger root... Myth busters proved it. It worked for me and all my customers
I hear you, but in what form and how much ginger root?
Hadn’t thought about barfing in 2 G.
If I die without ever seeing anyone barf, I can live with that.
No I'm not going to show you the barf haha nice Ellie
"chances are you've never been to space" how in the hell did she know that?
Do they still have the 3G simulator at Huntsville, AL? I rode that when I was a kid, more than 40 years ago. I didn't read the warning signs, so I was tapping Dad on the shoulder, turning my head, and proving to not be affected by the added G forces. This Zero G experience has an added issue, the jet. Jet motion is difficult on the body. Everyone that has traveled on a jet for more than 5 hours knows about jet lag. I found a high protein diet helps to recover, but you still have to recover. One of my long flights was 16 hours from Chicago to Japan. We were going against the jet stream, so the jet was having to constantly course correct. It felt like a sine wave for most of the flight, and it took a week to get over that feeling. I do not advise getting on a boat for a 4 hour cruise after that kind of flight! When I got to my final destination in the Philippines, I was worn out and very close to getting sick. Most of my team was sick, even with a 2 day break in Manila. Your ability to handle these changes, adjusts as you age. Wait 5 years then try it again. Don't give up on a bad experience!
Slight correction: "jet lag" isn't the right term for the exhaustion from any long flight - it has to do with a significant change in time zone and your body's hormone clock being out of sync with the new day/night cycle. I'm an American living in Japan, so I have a lot of experience with jet lag. I coped better when I was younger, but now in my 60s it takes me about a week to get over it, with carefully timed doses of melatonin and determined effort to shift my awake/sleep times. But I have friends who are Australians in Japan - when they fly home and back, they get tired because of the stresses of air travel, but they don't get jet lag because the flights are north/south.
@@L4JPThat is something I have never done is a north south travel. The motion sickness issue is a problem, no matter our age. As you know, travel is the best education! I usually change my clock 2 weeks before the trip so that my eating and sleep habits meet the destination. On arriving home, I tend to sleep for a week.
Surprised they make them fly over the gulf waters instead of the east shores. Then again, the east waters are probably busy with space and military activities, also international water boundaries.
Yeah! It''s terrible that "eat a regular breakfast before you arrive" is written in their faq! What and when did you eat and drink before Zero-G?
Ive got to give you credit for being honest about the whole thing. It would have been tempting to pretend that everything was fine, and quietly drop any mention of barfing, so a thumbs up on giving a real account of things rather than the glossy veneer some others might have been tempted to present.
Doesn't the nausea depend a lot on what you're looking at? If you can find a steady view to fix on, it might help a lot.
Don't use the non-Drowsy formula. Doesn't work for me either. Use the old standard Dramamine.
I told you "Bonine", not Dramamine. Commercial fisherman all use Bonine. Dramamine is useless.
Lol ok.
Her face at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale.
The first rule of Barf Club is no one talks about Barf Club
Thank you for your support! Also, nice reference lol 😂
15:00 Well then, what percentage do you suppose are invincible?
The issue isn’t being in zero g. The issue is having multiple transitions from zero g to positive g in a row. This plays on your equilibrium and causes you to get motion sickness.
I love the streams that have nothing to do with that freak Elon and spacex.
They should rename the company freefall. Because that's what you're doing. It's not even zero G on ISS.
I think you can get used to it after some time.
ellie no one is intresested in the negative aspects. only positive news.
Yeah ... If I see stomach contents I'm out! Good luck if the next one!
Is the 0-G simulated by the plane diving down in combination with how high it is in the sky?
Yes, it literally nosedives and ascends back and forth!
That'll pass! I think it's ok 0-G left out the "other stuff" from the gopro videos. It could've triggered a similar reaction from some viewers! 🤣🤣
Good point! I still would have wanted to see the chaos in the sick section
Maybe that makes me sick
@@ellieinspace You were sick. Maybe you still are though. 😛
Don't eat for two days. Got it. 😂
