What does that transition feel like?
I'd imagine it'd be crazy like a combo feeling similar to how a 3d image book finally pops out for your eyes, while simultaneously feeling that light belly floating sensation that you get when you go up and down hills super fast.

Yeah the only reference I have is the drop on a roller coaster, where you actually do achieve weightlessness for a split second. But it still just felt like I was going "down" really fast. At what point during the Apollo missions did they transition from feeling like they were going "up" to the moon, to feeling like they were coming "down" to the moon. I can't wrap my head around this.
