Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 06-03-2016 05:35 PM As the space shuttle external tank was being prepared for its move through the streets of Los Angeles, NASA astronauts in town for the occasion joined members of the Hollywood and Silicon Valley communities — including Oculus founder Palmer Luckey and two Academy Award winners — for a virtual reality shoot aboard Endeavour at the California Science Center, [URL=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/astronauts-hollywood-virtual-reality-shoot-896922]reports The Hollywood Reporter[/URL]. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The VR shoot included interiors of Endeavour’s flight deck and the Spacehab module as well as NASA astronauts — including Dan Bursch, Drew Feustel, Michael Finke, Kenneth Ham, Kay Hire, Sandra Magnus and Steven Swanson — who simulated in orbit procedures as though Endeavour was in flight. Additionally, they were interviewed with 4K 2D cameras about the Shuttle and reminisced about their experiences in space. The VR and 2D cameras were also used to film some of the fuel tank's move through the streets. ...the pro-bono shoot was part of a larger effort to document the arrival and impact of Endeavour, with continued involvement from a core team that includes VFX Academy Award winners Ben Grossmann and Alex Henning (Hugo), who are co-founders of the experiential design company Magnopus; Melissa Eccles, VR experience producer for Game of Thrones; and David Knight, California Science Center trustee and founder of tech startup Terbine.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
