Space Transit

Journey to Mars

Develop a game or virtual reality experience that allows users to build and explore a futuristic spaceport. Potential utilizations that could be incorporated:

Horizontal and vertical launch and landing
Suborbital and orbital tourist facilities (hotels, crew training experiences, exploration theme park attractions)
On-site spacecraft manufacturing facilities
Processing facilities for space resources

Explanation

[Space Transit]

You'd like to imagine traveling in space? My web application realizes it like train's transit UI. At the first, users select departure and arrival plants, and then my web application will show routes and planets which we select as transit planet. This service supports 1000 planets and calculates distances of 1 million routes in real time. In the future, my idea will be useful to build new next space station as HUB airports in space travel!
