No, that's not the title of a new sci-fi movie but rather, as we reported on in the blog a few days ago, Professor Stephen Hawking's zero-gravity flight in a specially-modified plane. The dramatic event took place yesterday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and , which includes video of the Prof obviously loving the experience of a few weightless seconds in air (which he did a record 8 times over, incidentally).

Following the flight, Professor Hawking told assembled journalists that he planned to boldly go where no man had gone before. Oh no, that's not right. He said: "It was amazing. The zero-G part was wonderful and the higher-G part was no problem. I could have gone on and on. Space, here I come!"
