In New York on Thursday, Samsung opened an elaborate virtual-reality experience called A Moon for All Mankind. With a specialized rig harnessed to your body, you can jump into the air with the moonwalking bounce of Neil Armstrong. And with a Gear VR headset and a Galaxy S9 Plus phone in the place of a visor on your space helmet, virtual reality creates a lunar landscape around you. 

"You're still in  New York City, but it takes you to some other place," said Mike Massimino, a former NASA astronaut who helped Samsung ensure the experience was authentic. "That was what it was like going to space as well."
