All of this imagery was brilliant foreshadowing to the exhibition and the virtual reality experience. With a 360 degree view of being in space, narrated by Tim Peake himself, the quality of detail truly makes you feel like you are a flight engineer, and Peake&#8217;s right-hand man.<\/p>\n<p>All of this VR experience is available to visitors 13 years and over and tickets can be bought on the day for \u252c\u00fa6 per person.
