Would not start

Saw this mentioned in the G+ community and checked it out, hoping it'd work for my son, who loves the space shuttle. I tried it out first and was impressed by the menu system and then the quality of the pictures. A couple areas for improvement would be maybe having some voice narration explaining what you're seeing, since my son can't yet read, and something to indicate that you need to select one of the "bubbles" rather than the general area to start a tour. My son, BTW, loved it.

Fantastic. Works great on a Nexus 5 + viewmaster.

Initially it's fascinating and you get a fantastic impression of the sheer scale of the assembly plant. Looking around is interesting enough, but without any accompanying information, it's not as interesting as it really could be. Sadly, after seeing all the images, there's nothing else here to keep you coming back, which really is a shame.

About the Space Shuttle - The world's first re-usable space craft. Conceived in the early 1970's as the successor to the Apollo Moon missions, the Shuttle is a delivery system, designed to transport payloads such as the Hubble Telescope, and most of the International Space Station, into orbit, and return for its next cargo. The delivery van is the Orbiter - what most people call the Shuttle - which is mated with a huge external fuel tank and rocket boosters which are all jettisoned. Surviving the huge destructive forces of travelling to space and returning in usable form called for ingenious engineering compromises. The Shuttle is a rocket for the first part of its life, then morphs into a plane for the return journey.

Works with Google Cardboard - To fully enjoy this app you'll need a Cardboard viewer. Learn more and get your own Cardboard viewer at http://g.co/cardboard.
