    Virtual reality is big on immersing you in cool new environments, and what's cooler than space? Nothing, if you ask SpaceVR. It's crowdfunding a project that will send a 12-camera video array to the International Space Station, where it'll record 360-degree VR videos from the Cupola Observatory (shown above) and other parts of the ISS. The plan is to offer new footage each week as part of a subscription service -- as the team explains, it's like Netflix for space fans. If the effort proves successful, you might even see footage of spacewalks and other outside-the-station events.
