Take an inside look at the world’s first, largest, and most immersive space expedition
Hundreds of miles below me, the beautiful, blue marble I call home is slowly turning. As I hover, suspended in awe outside the International Space Station, the clouds and continents I’ve only ever seen from the ground up come into stunning focus, and my entire perspective of this mysterious planet is transformed.as they may be, but the fact thatthe one experiencing them, because I’m not an actual astronaut, and I’m not actually in space.
“When you experience something like an expedition to space, there’s only so much you can do by taking notes or snapping photos with a DSLR camera,” said Félix Lajeunesse, co-founder of the experience and creative director for the series. “There’s only so much that traditional media can accomplish in bringing that experience back to earth.”But VR cameras allowed Lajeunesse and his team to authentically capture what it was like to be in space, but it didn’t happen overnight.
As you observe the astronauts, they tinker with their tools, talking to you and narrating their actions in an everyday, casual manner. It’s like you’re one of their crewmates, right there in the station next to them. You’re not a fly on the wall, you’re one of them. There’s something to be said here about the everyday, not just in regards to atmosphere but also accessibility. Space has long since been a point of discussion and culture, but the experience itself was reserved for the pros and the experts. Now, with companies like SpaceX leading the charge of space tourism, there is this notion that space is somehow within grasp, but only for those who can afford to pay.
