[ Television ] RJG writes "In the latest reality show on British TV,
three British "space tourists" last night succesfully blasted off on a
five day mission and are currently orbiting the earth 200 miles up. Or
so they think. And to forestall the first question. They aren't
experiencing weightlessness due to a combination of being in a low
orbit (rather than outer space where the weightlessness is) and a few
under-floor gravity generators."
