It's a vision that only astronauts on the International Space Station or space explorers have experienced and one you'll never forget.

Guest “crew members” participate in this all-too-real simulation, which immerses visitors in the sights, sounds and sensations of a Space Shuttle launch, designed under the guidance of NASA and veteran Space Shuttle astronauts.
