Zero Gravity Corporation Updates

In July 2025, our Boeing 727-200 aircraft, G-Force One, sustained extensive damage while in the exclusive custody and control of a third-party maintenance facility during a routine scheduled maintenance check. The aircraft was fully operational and in airworthy condition when it was delivered to the facility.

Got into medical school!

My main priority is to go into emergency medicine, but I hope to subspecialise in flight medicine to become a flight surgeon, and potentially an astronaut in the end.

For anyone on a similar route, do you have tips for medical school to help me get closer to my goals?

Anyone pivoting from a second career?

I'm currently an artist (self taught, no degree but I sell prints and have my own jewelry business) and I dreamt of going to space as a kid. Things didn't pan out but I'm going to college next year and I'm thinking of pursuing aerospace. I'm not studying engineering but my goal is to become an astronaut one day. I'll be 25 next year. Is anyone else coming in from a second field? How do you avoid feeling behind?

I want to become an Artemis missions Astronaut.

Preferably I want to participate in lunar science missions in the hopes to find water around the moon's Southern pole, and possibly to bring back Helium-3 in solid forms for further use and study in nuclear reactors research. I currently have my Master's degree in Civil Engineering with focuses in Hydrology/Water Resources, Structural Engineering, and Geotechical Engineering (Earthwork and Water Wells + Deep Foundations drilling).

Lately, I have been considering starting a study for PhD in Geohydrology and Seleneology/Moon Studies from New Mexico Tech. I want to be part of a cutting edge science and exploration crew and an integral part of N.A.S.A.'s Artemis missions in the near future.

Basically, I have been wanting to pursue something meaningful, enjoyable and unique to further humankind's efforts to explore the galaxy and reach for the stars. So, I suppose that in the meantime...hitting the books and making connections and putting in the hard work and efforts towards these dreams and goals is what I am doing/continuing to do.

If anyone has some insight or pointers and tips on how to accomplish these ideas, I would be grateful and thankful. I appreciate your community support greatly.

Sincerely,

GODSPEED! #AdLuna & AdAstra!
