Ep2, P3: Spaceman, Mike Massimino - A 360° Video from The Hitchhiker s Guide to Neil s Universe

If you’ve ever wanted to hang out with Neil deGrasse Tyson, former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino and Chuck Nice, this is about as close as you’re likely to get. Climb into the passenger seat as Neil drives you, Mike and Chuck up to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, where Mike is the Senior Advisor, Space Programs. As is often the case, the conversation between old friends bounces around, from watching space shuttle launches, to Mike’s two flights servicing and repairing the Hubble Space Telescope, to why the International Space Station is the largest investment in international cooperation that had nothing to do with war and peace. Plus, Neil explains why the Olympic marathon is 26.2 miles long, not 25, and Mike explains why he doesn’t run marathons. NOTE: This 360 video is best experienced with headphones on a mobile device or a Virtual Reality headset.
