On the second stop of the Diet Rite and Zero Gravity Corporation's (ZERO-G(R)) six-city tour, Apollo 11 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin returned to Lunar gravity and weightlessness aboard G-Force One. ZERO-G's specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft is the first and only company approved by the FAA to conduct Weightless Flight for the general public.

"It was exhilarating," said Dr. Aldrin. "It was great to experience both lunar gravity and weightlessness again. I hope that everyone interested in adventure tourism and space will participate in this amazing opportunity."

Dr. Aldrin last experienced lunar gravity when he walked on the moon with Neil Armstrong on July 20,1969. Aldrin left the surface of the moon the next day on July 21.

"We are elated and honored to have Dr. Buzz Aldrin participate in the launch of ZERO-G," stated Dr. Peter H. Diamandis, founder, chairman, and CEO of Zero Gravity Corporation. "The ZERO-G Experience(TM) now gives the general public the opportunity to fly Martian, Lunar and zero-g flights in the same manner NASA astronauts train for their missions."
