A CLPS mission should place a pole with a 360° camera on top and the power & broadcasting equipment very close to the landing zone of the first crew landing sites. In this way, people on Earth could be virtually present when the historic lunar return missions take place.

For those interested in watching something else than SpaceX or NASA, here’s a three-year old recording from inside Blue Origin’s capsule.

These interesting times are where “virtual” is a mere change of medium used for the same purposes that media from drums to print to broadcast to social, have done since men first began communicating to large groups of other men.

This new digitally grounded virtual life however adds a Dzahnibekov dynamic to how media affects its consumers’ s societies and worth. One “virtually” explores risk-free by way of GPS and aps, where once an individual risked much and used maps, compasses, and brainpower. One “virtually” tunes an instrument via eyesight on a digital tuner, a virtual replacement for the human ear which served to tune all instruments for all centuries prior.

What appears as an advance is actually a regression with “virtual,” I suspect.

I hope NASA doesn’t forget the virtual “Tang” OJ for everybody!

Seems like a good sign to me. I’d love to see a bunch of companies hype their launch experiences, while all using SpaceX (and hopefully sometime soon some competitors) rockets. I think it would mean that space travel is getting closer to what airline travel is now.
