This is probably the only way you'll ever get to visit the Space Station, but it's pretty damn good
From Mashable
We never tire of seeing amazing new footage from the International Space Station (ISS), but it would be even better if most of us could get a VIP ticket to visit.http://mashable.com/2017/03/11/oculus-rift-iss-space-vr/#hKcK52oeiEqYWell, now we can, thanks to virtual reality on the Oculus Rift.
Mission: ISS is a completely immersive VR experience that puts you on board the ISS as it orbits the Earth, with all the realistic effects you'd actually experience in space, including weightlessness.
Produced by Los Angeles-based studio Magnopus, the experience was developed in collaboration with NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
But if you're hoping for a video game style trip, this isn't the VR experience for you. Instead, Mission: ISS truly works to deliver a realistic version of what it's really like working on board the ISS, including training and space station missions that are informed by the reality of what astronauts actually go through rather than some fictional approach to space.
Going to space is my biggest life goal. Now if only I could get my hands on a VR headset...
