May 6 is National Space Day, and Meta Quest is your ticket to travel the galaxy and learn, play, and walk among the stars. From immersive 3D and 360° films that let you feel like you’re actually aboard the International Space Station to action-packed space-themed games that let you defy gravity, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy. Here’s a look at some of our favorites:
When We Were Apollo
May 6 // 2:00 – 3:20 pm PT
When We Were Apollo is an intimate and personal look at the Apollo Space Program through the lives and experiences of some of its most inspiring behind-the-scenes figures: engineers, technicians, builders, and contractors who spent the better part of a decade working to get us to the moon and back.
Space Explorers: The ISS Experience Series
May 6 // 5:00 – 6:43 pm PT
A new crew of astronauts arrives aboard the International Space Station and discovers the joy, wonder and danger of living in space. Years of training come into play as the crew overcomes disorientation from zero gravity, responds to potential catastrophic emergencies, and learns to operate as a close-knit team. The extreme nature of this unique shared experience brings them to form family-like bonds.
Apollo Astronauts: Training NASA’s Moon Men
May 12 // 6:00 – 6:55 pm PT
In 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and into the history books as the first of only twelve men to walk on the Moon. But in 1961 when Kennedy pledged to put a man on the Moon, NASA had barely put a man into orbit. They had less than 10 years to train a team of astronauts to overcome the unknown challenges of a mission to the Moon. Featuring stunning NASA footage and expert interviews with Apollo space scientists, this inspirational film explores the early days of astronaut training, following those pioneering pilots from selection to the lunar surface and back again. This is the incredible story of how NASA trained America’s best pilots to fly to the moon and take one giant leap for humankind.
