Christina is offering an incredible once in a lifetime chance to fly in zero gravity with 3 astronauts: Charlie Duke - Apollo 16 Moonwalker, 10th man to walk on the Moon; Nicole Stott - NASA astronaut, aquanaut and artist; and Jean-Francois Clervoy - ESA astronaut, Cofounder of Air ZeroG. This is most likely Charlie Duke’s Last Zero Gravity flight. It’s going to be a very special gathering.

This is one of the ONLY zero gravity flights available in the entire world for the next year. What an opportunity to walk in lunar gravity with a real Moonwalker. Flip, float, and fly with astronauts like in space, without going to space. It’s not a simulation, it’s real!

And to top it off there is a VVIP 3 night stay for a select few to stay with the astronauts and the team at a private chateau with a wine tasting day, Michelin star dinner, and more.
