Eventually the plan is for students — or anyone — to be able to download a digital representation of the spacecraft and 3-D print a small replica. While all details of the project aren’t final, there’s talk of potentially using virtual reality to let someone put on a headset and be immersed in the experience of the cabin.

Looks really nice.  :)
I just imagine now a full working Orbiter NASSP Mod with VR. I would probably say goodbye to real life.  ;D

Truth needs no defense.  Nobody can take those footsteps I made on the surface of the moon away from me.
