This second generation treadmill for the International Space Station (called T2) is shown during testing on a DC-9 aircraft that provides short periods of weightlessness. The new treadmill will be carried up on a future shuttle flight, after the station crew expands from three to six people.

Wow! NASA has it going on! LOL.
Looking at this I can't help to think
how acceptionally cool if people
that were non-astronauts (you know, land-lovers) could have
access to something like this as
an awesome form of physical therapy for those that are striving
hard to regain their health and strength back; maybe call it an ATB
(AN Air Therapy Box). If something
such as this already out there, I'd
like to know; or if someone is
interested in designing such, I'd be
honored to assist, as much as
possible. Who knows maybe in the
future this could cut down many
excuses for not exercising. How
cool would that be?
