Well maybe not 45 minutes if they plan to serve a meal (and have it
retained)
on the flight, but 2 hours would be just fine... ;-)


You try to serve them food in zero g, and the thing will become the Vomit
Comet II.
They'll be lucky if around a third of the passengers don't puke within a
couple of minutes of going weightless, even after training.


Just like the best amusement park rides. ;-)
