Yeah I felt the same way when I saw it. Just kinda sobering, really. I’m learning Unreal Engine right now for work but I kinda wanna make an experience of a VR “game” for myself where you’re just on a slowly-rotating rock in the void of space, like a stranded astronaut.
I played a C64 game where you had missions to visit different spots in the solar system. The space travel part wasn’t realistic, but the scale of the solar system was. I remember having to accelerate to high speeds to cover the distance between objects, then decelerate rapidly to avoid zipping past them. I’m still proud of the fact that I was able to land on Phobos. I think I landed on Ceres, too.
