Stephen Hawking Flies!

[daurdabla]

Stephen Hawking, Lucasian Chair of mathematics, author, and all-around amazing individual, flew a trip upon a commercial version of NASA's "Vomit Comet." A man whose body is so wracked by disease that he can't even speak without high-tech assistance, yet whose mind travels places most of us cannot imagine, experienced free fall today.

I'm so happy for him. He experienced today in his body what only his indomitable spirit has experienced before.
