Space Explorers: The Infinite, a virtual reality exhibit at Atlanta's Pullman Yards, allows visitors to step into the shoes of astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The 45-minute immersive experience uses VR headsets to give guests an intimate look at life in space, from experiments and exercise routines to the breathtaking views of Earth. The exhibit will be in Atlanta until August before traveling to other major cities around the world.

Why it matters

As one of the most ambitious and technologically advanced space exploration projects, the International Space Station has captured the public's imagination. This VR experience provides a rare opportunity for the average person to get a firsthand glimpse of what it's like to live and work in the unique environment of the ISS, fostering a greater appreciation for the extraordinary feats of the astronauts who call it home.

The details

The Space Explorers: The Infinite exhibit is divided into four main sections: adapting to the space environment, exploration, international cooperation, and future expansion. Visitors use adjustable VR headsets to freely move around the virtual ISS, touching floating orbs to watch short videos from real astronauts. While the experience aims to be immersive, some guests have found the setup a bit cumbersome, with heavy headsets and a lack of clear guidance on how to maximize their time. The 45-minute experience also leaves little room for customization, as visitors can't choose which astronaut videos to watch. Overall, the exhibit provides a unique perspective on life in space, even if it doesn't completely transport guests to the final frontier.

  • Space Explorers: The Infinite will be on display at Pullman Yards in Atlanta until August 2026.
  • The exhibit has already toured in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Singapore, and San Francisco.
