My Esoteric Hobby

Using multimedia resources found online, develop a virtual experience that would allow someone to experience a past or upcoming rocket launch as if they were observing it from a few miles away (i.e. a close, but safe distance from the launch pad). If possible, convey the impact that local/global/space weather has on a launch.

I created a way to recreate a launch using photospheres from Google maps. Additionally, one computer can host a launch and unlimited mobile viewers can experience it through their binoculars (google cardboard with mobile phones).
