For customers who want to see the edge of space, your solution provides zero value.

Being weightless can be accomplished on any rollercoaster, a fraction of a fraction of what you are proposing, with no view of space!

But for customers who want to experience what it feels like to float around in zero-G, it provides a lot of value. 5 minutes of microgravity and 500 milliseconds of microgravity are vastly different experiences, it’s like comparing skydiving to jumping off a chair (both of which, incidentally, also provide a “zero-G experience” of sorts). No need for the snarky last sentence.

Funny to see the pointless HN snarkiness never dies.
