Players can also experience the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope from the cockpit of Discovery in a real time launch experience using original NASA cockpit audio and mission data. Finally, users can view some of the amazing imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope which has been collecting data over the past 30 years from 568 kilometres above earth.\n \n With Oculus' newest smaller and cheaper Oculus Quest headsets expected to become one of the most popular items this Christmas and given Oculus' already large and growing user base, the Group expects Shuttle Commander to be equally as popular as VR Education's awarding winning Apollo 11 VR experience which has generated revenue of close to €2 million to date.\n \n More information can be found in the trailer at the following link: https://youtu.be/59ocbsYwPcM\n \n \n Yahoo! hosts virtual event via the ENGAGE platform\n \n Yahoo!, one of the world's first web search engines and Verizon Media-owned web services provider, held a virtua...
