For more than 20 years, the International Space Station has hosted crews numbering two to 13 astronauts at a time. Soon, though, it will open its hatches to a continuous stream of more than 100 people — and you can join them.
"THE INFINITE: Living Among the Stars," a new, immersive touring exhibition, will open up the space station to the public by tapping into the largest media project to ever be filmed in space.

Houston, home of the training facilities and mission control for NASA's operations on the International Space Station (ISS), is set to host the U.S. premiere of a virtual and augmented reality adventure to the orbiting outpost.
"The Infinite," which is set to launch on Dec. 20 just outside downtown Houston, promises an opportunity for hundreds of people at a time to experience what it is like to live and work in Earth orbit. The installation is based on the Emmy Award-winning "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience," the largest ever media project to be filmed in space, produced by Felix & Paul Studios together with TIME Studios.

There is a moment in The Infinite, if you are standing in the right place at the right time, where you can find yourself in front of NASA astronaut Drew Morgan as he tries to describe what is like to come on board the International Space Station for the first time. Try as he might, he cannot find the words to properly capture the feeling.
"Amazing ... incredible," he says, as he rattles off adjectives that just do not do the moment justice.
