zoom with hawking?

Did he ever get anyone to test fly his BD? Or did he just sell the
thing?

What's really amazing is waun-abee hasn't posted here talking trash and
defending zoom. It must have gotten old having zoom's hand up his butt.

Of course he's not IN the picture. Being a journalist, he TOOK the picture.

And being an incredibly modest person, he gave the photo credit to
somebody else.

He must mean he was in the air at the same time and pushed the nose of his

I'm going to hate myself in the morning, but here goes...

Is it at all possible that Zoom is doing an EXTREMELY sloppy job of
presenting (himself in) an "everyman/every airman" persona?

It's a device you see in theatrical presentations, all the time - where the
narrator morphs into various characters along the way, to help the story
along.

Another example is this Rolling Stone's song:

For Zoomer to put such an incredible lie on his website makes me
realize he really must be psychotic, and loosing touch with reality.
What do that call that? Schizophrenic?

Not that I doubt the "correctness" of your statement, but how do you come to
this conclusion, if I may ask?

Most modern cameras have a delay so the photographer could run around
the camera and insert himself (no jokes please) into the photo...

Don't know if he was on the flight with Hawking or not but there is a
photo of Jim with Hawking in the flight suit worn during the flight.
While there are not any photos I could locate showing Jim in a flight
suit for the trip or any showing him on board, I did find a group shot
showing everyone except Jim. Since all the photos were copyrighted by
ANN, it is possible he was the one taking the photos. This time, he
might actually have been telling the truth. Hell, even a stopped
clock is right twice a day.

Take another look at that pic.... I brought it into Photoshop. Looks like
the original pic was of Hawking mainly, and the gal and Jim were both added
later. In particular, check out the left side of Hawkings' head, where the
Zero G backdrop was added, and very poorly. The whole editing job smacks of
amateurism, and yes, I've worked with Photoshop quite a bit. Bring the pic
into any editing program and just enlarge it a bit, you'll see what I mean.
Maybe this should be reported to Hawkings' people?

I hate to be the one to bear the bad news regarding this issue. I
did see some news coverage of the Hawking flight and zzzoom was there.
The coverage was on the Keith Olberman Countdown twice during the
short video I got a glimpse of zzzoom. He was not wearing a flight
suit but the usual zzzoom photo vest. At the end of the film in a
group picture he was on the far left side.

My guess (if you have seen him lately) the reason for him not
wearing a flight suit is that they didn't have one in a size 48 extra
fat.
