Mars 2030 is a part of an ongoing process to generate public interest in a real manned mission to Mars; it integrates with all the research analysis performed by NASA and MIT Aeronautics. Not only this, the Mars 2030 experience will also allow users to explore the interiors of a prototype proposed by the NASA Scientists.
Beyond the training and enriching media experiences VR provides a compelling method to bring the work done by NASA to design sustainable human missions with the regular folks to inspire the young and innovative minds for next-gen and upcoming technologies.
