Body Quote by Laufey
“I would sing in public, and everyone would be like, 'She's got the voice of a divorced woman in the body of a 13-year-old girl.' I never felt pretty or light or young. I always felt very foreign, different, and heavy. I felt like I was a circus freak. It's so loaded for a young girl to hear.”

![“I've used the Phoenix Centrifuge to replicate what the body's going to go through on the flight up. I've also done some gravity tests with ZERO-G [a charter-flight service in Arlington, Va., that uses modified Boeing 727s to simulate weightlessness], which went great.” quote by Richard Branson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aa1/richard-branson-256_adventure_i-ve-used-the-phoenix-centrifuge-to-repl_903.jpg)
