About five years before the mission, Hamish Harding discussed the idea of a global circumnavigation flight with some Apollo astronauts, sparking the concept of flying on "one more orbit." [5] [6] During July 9–11, 2019, One More Orbit shattered the Round-the-World record for any aircraft by navigating over both the North and South poles. [7]
Multiple teams around the world will simultaneously simulate flights circumnavigating the world over 7 days, all to raise money for charity. Virtual flights around the world will fly for 7 days ...
The touring Spacebuzz module uses virtual reality technology to simulate spaceflight for children. [31] A 2019 study found that a virtual experience invoked "minor transformative experiences in some participants", including appreciation of beauty and vastness, realization of interconnectedness, and a potential intent to change one's behavior.

Spaceflight (or space flight) is an application of astronautics to fly objects, usually spacecraft, into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board.Most spaceflight is uncrewed and conducted mainly with spacecraft such as satellites in orbit around Earth, but also includes space probes for flights beyond Earth orbit.
Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that employs 3D near-eye displays and pose tracking to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (particularly video games ), education (such as medical, safety or military training) and business (such as virtual meetings).
The four astronauts assigned to fly around the moon in another year got their first look at their spacecraft, as NASA warned Tuesday there could be more delays. "Nothing else looks like that ...
Virtual reality presents an opportunity and an alternative channel for digital marketing. The International Data Corporation expected spending to increase for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality, forecasting a compound annual growth rate of 198% from 2015 to 2020. Revenues were expected to rise to $143.3 billion in 2020.
To reach outer space, astronauts will also have to travel through Earth’s Van Allen Belts, two bands of radiation that surround our planet like giant doughnuts, according to NASA.
