   and inside… The overall space (a sim of the sim):I was last here 10 years ago, when the configuration was for the Shuttle and I tried to buzz the VAB tower at Cape Canaveral; details

   6 degrees of freedom = why the average human should not be allowed to fly fast airplanes or lunar landers. 😉

   Cool stuff from the VMS site:

   >> "Every U.S. aircraft has NASA-developed technology on board, and the VMS supports many of the country’s most sophisticated aerospace research and development programs."

   >> "Through Virtual Airspace Simulation Technologies (VAST), the Vertical Motion Simulator is integrated with other simulators at NASA Ames Research Center – including FutureFlight Central (FFC) and the Crew-Vehicle Systems Research Facility (CVSRF). This connectivity provides simultaneous cockpit and air traffic control perspectives. This unique capability enables systems-level analyses of concepts across multiple domains and creates the building blocks for simulating more of the operations encompassed within the national airspace system.

   >> The VMS can also be connected to other simulators via a High Level Architecture for remarkable real-time, distributed simulation with our partners. This enhances the realism of scenarios and allows collaborative teams to work together in creating the best solutions possible
