Zero G Monologue
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Zero G is a blessing and a curse. I mean, for keeping track of your film, it’s a curse, because the goddamn stuff, you put it down, which is a stupid thing to do. | I always used to put it down on the edge of the simulator, and it just stayed there, you know? (laughs) And without thinking, I didn’t stick it on the Velcro. |

I’d have to go hunting for it and that always puts you a few minutes behind. It’s also a curse from the bodily functions. I mean, next time you go to the latrine, imagine if you were in zero G. |

I mean, next time you go to the latrine, imagine if you were in zero G. | What does that stuff do? It just-ugggh. It’s hard, even with KC-135 (zero-G aircraft) flights, you are just not able to totally train yourself for zero G until you get there. |

I mean, I can’t sit still; my back starts hurting. And yet, I never got uncomfortable on the flight…it’s very relaxing. It’s easy. |

It’s easy. | You don’t have to be strong…Mainly you’re just like a big fish, like a jellyfish, lying there. And your arms are like this, in their natural position; your legs are like that…Pretty soon, after three days, you’re adapted to it. …I enjoyed zero G. |

Williams, the biggest guy around. I was like one pea in this pod. |

I didn’t realize it, but I kind of like to feel the security of the bed up against me. And I can’t sleep on my back; I’ve got to sleep on my stomach, and feel pressure. And there was no pressure. |

And there was no pressure. | And I’m sure you’ve had this feeling, where you’re lying in bed, and just before you drop off to sleep, you suddenly feel like you’re falling… |
