Engagement ring: $3,080.50
Zero-gravity flight for two: $8,295
Proposing in weightlessness: Priceless?
According to a recent boingboing post, a man recently proposed to his fiancee in zero-gravity. She accepted, of course.
The couple betrothed not in space, but rather in the belly of an airplane during one of several 24,000-foot (7.3-kilometer) nosedives to create the sensation of weightlessness. Their flight from ZERO G, the company that operates the parabolic-flying Boeing 727, cost $3,950 plus a 5 percent tax per head.
Perhaps surprisingly, their free-fall engagement isn’t the first. Last May, a New York City couple set a date during a similar parabolic flight and others came before them.
As for marriage in space? Yuri Malenchenko, now on board the International Space Station as a flight engineer, is the only human to get married during a bona fide spaceflight… kind of.
The first engagement or marriage with both parties present on orbit still awaits any brave — and wealthy — takers.
