Video: If you stood this close to a rocket launch, your face would probably look like deep-fried Swiss cheese. Luckily, 360-degree cameras and a VR headset can put you in the action a little more easily.
The video below was shot at the launch of a Delta-IV rocket from Vanderberg Air Force Base in California. The rocket carried some kind of secretive payload for the National Reconnaissance Office — in other words, a spy satellite. Regardless of what’s riding on top though, a rocket launch is a rocket launch, and VR is the best possible way to experience it.
