In space, you are alone with the stars. Your only company is the inside of your spaceship as you watch the planets and stars pass by your viewport.
You can travel to different planets through virtual reality.
(Try exploring the planets yourself by hovering over them and tapping.)
The galaxy is vast and you can only reach distance planets by hopping planet-to-planet. (Click and drag and use the arrow keys or WASD keys to explore the universe.)
