- New reality show being filmed
- Group of people believe they were blasted off into space and live on a real space ship
- It's really a elaborate set, they aren't in space, but are cut off from all outside contact
- They've been fooled thus far for like 7 months
- TV profit

How are they going to fake weightlessness?

How are they going to fake weightlessness?

They aren't. And I have no idea who would be fooled by the "take off".

"The producers will not have to worry about recreating weightlessness because they are being “sent” 62 miles (100km) to Near Space, not Deep Space, where the sensation occurs."

Looks like they are using idiots so that makes their job so much easier.

I have yet to see a projected image that I would mistake for the real thing.

Have you ever seen the real thing from that perspective?

They are going to be viewing the outside through tiny super thick windows and they can keep them half fogged.

That would be about the only way. I wonder how they can keep the projectors going 24/7 for 7 months. That's 5000 hours roughly. Keeping up that charade would be ... technically challenging.

probably many opportunities for set maintenance when all are asleep

They are only going to be in space for 10-days. Rest of the time is training at a fake russian base.
