Zero g's is experienced as soon as NASA's "vomit comit" (707 jet) starts the parabolic path, not just at the top. About 20 or more seconds of zero g's during each cycle. Flights last 2 hours regardless of how many "victims" get sick. Employees at Johnson space center can go along for the ride room permitting, but demand is low knowing that it's a 2 hour session.
