Congratulations to him.
I was in the Centrifuge 3 times and never liked it.
As an aside when the USAF adopted the F-16 they had to rebuild the centrifuges. The centrifuges up to that time would reach the 9Gs which the F-16 is limited to (because of the pilot not the airframe). However, the F-16 when clean will pull 3g/sec. In other words you can go from 1G to 9Gs in 3 seconds.
