This first immersive live-streaming is part of our ongoing mission which started with our Space Explorers series, to bring the public along for the ride on humanity's next giant leap in human space exploration," said Felix Lajeunesse, co-founder and Creative Director of Felix & Paul Studios.

Felix & Paul Studios is behind the Emmy-Winning "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience,"" the largest media project ever filmed in space, available in VR headsets on Meta Quest and through the world's largest immersive and interactive VR exhibit, THE INFINITE.

NASA Artemis I is an unmanned, maiden flight of the integrated Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft which will venture thousands of miles beyond the Moon to verify system performance in hopes of bringing astronauts –- including the first woman and the first person of color – back to the lunar surface by 2024.
