I really hope this mission is designed with VR in mind. Obviously any feed will be delayed, but it would be amazing if Nasa figured out a way to package the vessel approach and other key moments as a livestream VR experience. It should feel like the modern version of everyone watching the moon landing (not that i was there).

They could even create an abstract visualization of the total number of people of viewing, so that when you look back into outer space you are overwhelmed with the realization that this is a moment for all of humanity, not just another stream amongst so much drivel.

Best VR use case I can think of!



If I had multi-millionaire or billionaire money I'd put a satellite in low earth orbit with high definition cameras just to livestream the view in VR.
