      No unfortunately I haven’t. the possibility is definitely there for an engineer to work in zero gravity apart from being an astronaut. I applied for an ESA position that involved occasionally conducting experiments on the aptly named “Vomit Comet” airplane. Whether or not that’s something you would be able to stomach regularly is another question!
