For customers who want to see the edge of space, your solution provides zero value.

Being weightless can be accomplished on any rollercoaster, a fraction of a fraction of what you are proposing, with no view of space!

Funny to see this as the top comment when it’s so off base.

But for customers who want to experience what it feels like to float around in zero-G, it provides a lot of value. 5 minutes of microgravity and 500 milliseconds of microgravity are vastly different experiences, it’s like comparing skydiving to jumping off a chair (both of which, incidentally, also provide a “zero-G experience” of sorts). No need for the snarky last sentence.
Funny to see the pointless HN snarkiness never dies.
