How much G-force can you handle? That’s the question you have to ask yourself here at Mission: SPACE. This isn’t just any ride; it’s a meticulously crafted experience designed to simulate astronaut training for a mission to Mars. Mission: SPACE opened in 2003, replacing the classic Epcot attraction “Horizons.” Since its opening, millions have dared to take the journey. As you step into the International Space Training Center, you’ll be surrounded by props and plaques from real and fictional space missions. You might even recognize pieces from the film “Mission to Mars,” a nod to the attraction’s immersive storytelling. Before you board the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle, you’ll be assigned a role: commander, pilot, navigator, or engineer. Each role has specific tasks during the mission, adding to the realism. And speaking of realism, get ready for some serious G-force! Mission: SPACE uses a centrifuge to simulate the feeling of liftoff, reaching up to 2.5G. That’s more than twice the force of gravity on Earth! You’ll feel the pressure building as you launch into space, experiencing firsthand the thrill (and potential discomfort) of space travel. Whether you choose the intense Orange Mission or the slightly less intense Green Mission (which simulates an orbit around Earth), Mission: SPACE provides a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of space exploration. Just remember, those motion-sickness bags aren’t just for show!
