CHAPTER 4: FEELING WEIGHTLESS
Day One
Experiencing a New Kind of Freedom
Safely docked with our mothership, CosmicSea, we unfasten our seat belts and take few moments to stretch our legs in zero-gravity. We begin to feel the essence of the fourth insight—weightlessness.
The first sensations of weightlessness are incredibly visceral and remind us of a good flying dream. We feel a new kind of freedom in moving without gravity.
Welcome aboard EXPEDITION LIFEPOINT, an imaginary yet plausible journey to Mars.
The mission of our envisioned journey is not to foretell the future but to explore the possibilities. By stepping into the future in our minds, we may make better use of the present in our lives.
Join the voyagers of EXPEDITION LIFEPOINT on the world's first adventure vacation to Mars - a spectacular virtual journey where you can discover timeless secrets of the universe that have taken earthbound humans millennia to understand.

Feel Weightless on Earth
When you need a lift, go to your local playground and swing on a swing. Delight in the weightless moment at the height of each swing just before gravity pulls you back to Earth. Experience the thrill of floating between up and down.
Because you can never escape the force of gravity, “weightlessness” is nothing more than a form of free-falling. There is a moment of “weightlessness” in every jump for joy and between every step we take.
