Someone else is footing at least part of the bill. That’s what protects it.
Pillsbury? After all, they were behind the infamous "Space Food Sticks."

Easiest way is drop a huge chunk of money with a company like Virgin Galactic and get your g-training and simulated space shot in the centrifuge that was the basis for Mission Space.

Or join the USAF or USN/USMC and become a combat fighter pilot and get your g-rating / support research in two monster systems at WPAFB.

Edit: added YouTube links

The top video shows the typical military training centrifuge, capable of delivering up to 9Gs. I ridden a virtual clone of this device, but only to 8Gs (but that was enough). The device shown in the lower video is one-of-a-kind, designed strictly for research purposes. The individual shown riding it is a professional colleague and friend; he was one of my interns most of 20 years ago

"Only 8Gs". "Only"? That's just awesome. I know my body wouldn't be able to handle that. I've done Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion after the reworked turn and I only saw black (and my hearing went weird) until the top of the next hill. I believe it sustains 3-3.5 during that turn. M:S doesn't bother me though.

But 8Gs? You've got serious bragging rights.

Indeed. The company manufactures tactical military training centrifuges. I ridden one of them; 8 Gs in a "real" centrifuge makes MS seem like an office chair that spins...

Not to go further off topic,, but....


Brian, I am assuming you are / were flight surgeon or physiologist?

Current generation of prior gfet? If current, which module was loaded? On-site or at factory? I've been lucky enogh to ride current generation in both g-training mode and in sub-orbital launch simulation mode. Also been on the system that were basis / predecessor for cyber coaster and the bottom system in the videos.
