Thu Mar 20 06:50:29 UTC 2025: ## 8-Year-Old Achieves Zero-Gravity Flight Record
**Orlando, FL –** Eight-year-old Jack Martin Pressman has officially entered the Guinness World Records as the youngest person to fly in zero gravity. The Orlando, Florida boy completed 18 zero-gravity flights, each lasting approximately 30 seconds, executing impressive mid-air maneuvers including backflips and 360-degree spins. Videos posted to Instagram show him playfully performing tricks such as catching jellybeans and manipulating water droplets in the weightless environment.
Pressman’s achievement, verified by Guinness World Records at the age of 8 years and 33 days, was made possible through a zero-gravity flight arranged by Zero-G, a company specializing in providing weightless experiences.
His fascination with space began early, fueled by a childhood love of Buzz Lightyear and a custom-built “secret space room” created by his parents, featuring a “moonlight blue” design and hundreds of glow-in-the-dark stars.
The decision to pursue this record, according to his father Jason, stemmed from a conversation about life’s regrets and the importance of seizing opportunities. Jason shared his own regret of never having flown on the Concorde, inspiring Jack to pursue his dream of experiencing zero gravity before potentially regretting it later in life.
With ambitions set high, Jack, who aspires to become an astronaut, has already set his sights on his next goal: becoming the youngest person to travel to space. “I think going to space will be super cool,” he stated.
