NASA’s new moon rocket remained on the ground Monday after engineers could not successfully troubleshoot an engine issue during the filling of the rocket with propellants. Monday’s launch was to be the debut flight of the Space Launch System, a giant, 322-foot-tall rocket to take astronauts to the moon in the coming years. NASA has additional opportunities to launch next weekend, but that depends on whether there is enough time to diagnose and fix the problem.

Available to discuss the failed launch and its overall significance is Matt Gohd, CEO of ZERO-G Corporation. Matt can talk about the current space race and why the Artemis launch is critical in space exploration overall. 

Zero-G is a a space tourism company, available for an interview to discuss the upcoming space trips Zero-G has planned, and how everyday Americans can book a spot on board.

ADDITIONAL TALKING POINTS:

Matt can also talk about what it feels like to enter a zero-gravity space environment, how he offers training for those heading up on Blue Origin flights and what kind of research is being done in zero gravity environments!

• ZERO-G offers unprecedented access to space environments for advanced research and training at a price that will fit your budget.
• G-FORCE ONE is a modified Boeing 727-200. An upgrade to G-FORCE ONE’s hydraulic system allows for continuous hydraulic pressure during parabolic performance. The modification, along with the addition of accelerometers in the cockpit, were tested and approved by the FAA. 
•  The interior of G-FORCE ONE has been altered to allow for maximum floating space. The seats are located in the rear of the plane. The floating area is divided into sections and padded from floor to ceiling with one rope running down each side of the plane.
