The women flew in a normal airplane, and that’s why they only experienced weightlessness for 11 minutes. They landed normally, on an air strip, then posed for pictures in the capsule that landed nearby.

There was a capsule called “The Shepherd” that went up by the edge of space. But it was un-(wo)manned.
There was no one on that craft, until it landed, and then they used it for a photo op.
The “vomit comet” flights can only achieve “0g” for about 25 seconds at a time (the time the plane is falling towards earth before it has to pull up so as to not hit the ground).
These suborbital flights have a short but much longer window of “0g” between when the engines cutoff and the parachutes deploy.
People who didnt make it past the 5 grade in school shouldnt be allowed to post.
