Freefall!

I mentioned this at Picocon today as proof we really are living in the future - a sports illustrated swimsuit calendar shoot in free fall. Thought I might as well provide a link. One small error on my part - it isn't the "vomit comet", though I'd imagine they use similar techniques.

There's a link for the photos as well as the video - all in the best possible taste (except for cramming a girl that size into a bikini that size)

Believe it or not, that's actually one of the more modest bikinis I've seen Kate Upton in. :)

Just spotted there's a "making of" video as well, with GoPro in the name.

Swimsuits In Space is the next logical step.

How far away is the Virgin Spaceliner?

How long is Richard Branson's nose today?

I wonder how many tickets he actually sold.

Wasn't there a porn film shot in freefall a few years ago?

Really? I know someone said all of the space scenes in Apollo 13 were shot that way, but I hadn't seen about the porn.

Called The Uranus Experiment. I only remembered it because it's the only porn film to have been nominated for the Nebula!

Given the actual time they seem to have spent in free fall it must have been a real case of "Wham, bam, thank you maam."
