Mad respect to the camera man who filmed this
-
I hope one day we can take that tour in person
-
My brother showed me this space “game” with his vr today, and it was the COOLEST THING EVER. I was so amazed
-
Man : *trying to explain*
Me : *spinning in circles* -
That last planet was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. It looked like an prefect island planet.
Then I realized, the second I land(if I even made it there), I would die from radiation, uv rays and it’s temperature. -
Even if only virtual, places like that last planet make me feel something so unique and hard to describe. It looks gorgeous.
-
It's scary to think that we are not alone in the universe.
And its also scary to think we are alone in this whole universe.
Damn -
When you don’t have a VR set but still want to feel included... yup, that’s me.
-
I just want to say thank you! It's honestly been a life long dream of mine to travel through space! This is as close as I could get to fulfilling my dream!
-
I am just grateful to be able to experience the greatness of technology. 100 years ago, humans would never have thought that future humans could look around in space while being in the comfort of their own homes. I hope someday every school would entrust the students to find one exoplanet so we can all work together to curate more planets to be observed

It was overwhelming to see this video. I projected it on a big wall and kept moving it with 360 view. Can’t tell you how astonished I was😍 this is simply outstanding. Loved it, thanks to the entire team for making it👌🏻
-
This was far more fascinating than I thought it would be. Thank you.

Like 95% of who watches this has no VR items or even headphones
-
thing is everyone is excited to know if there's any form of life besides us in the universe and to meet them, but we can't even get along with ourselves in the first place
-
Absolutely loved the 360 degree viewing. Wonderful scenes. Well done!
-
It's scary and exciting at the same time. Amazing work
-
This is definitely next level education. I would have so payed attention to science class more if we had this then. What an incredible experience!
-
So interesting and actually fun learning about all these different kinds of planets and what an amazing way to share this information!!!
-
There's no way we are alone in the universe..
-
I watched it with VR and it is incredibly beautiful! It really feels large and real. It's awesome!
