The FAA has certified the Zero-G Corporation, home of the "Vomit Comet," to offer microgravity simulation flights as part of the training for future private space crews.
The flights will obviously focus on exposing candidates to some of the physical challenges of spaceflight-- functioning in microgravity, enduring rapid acceleration and deceleration, understanding spatial orientation, etc.
This is one more small step down a long road leading to the creation of a truly spacefaring civilization.
