Chances are the coronavirus outbreak has curtailed any ambitious summer vacation plans you may have had. But as far as Google is concerned, that doesnt need to be the case. In fact, the internet giant wants to take you to space.

Google Arts & Culture now offers a full, 360-degree virtual tour of the International Space Station, and its accessible to anyone with internet access. Making use of the companys Street View technology, the tour lets you explore every single nook and cranny of the 21-year-old space station without the decades of hard work and preparation that would normally require.

While you wont get to experience the feel of floating through the space station, Googles digital exhibition feels like the next best thing. You can travel down any of ISSs long and winding tunnels and look around all of its equipment-packed rooms. You can even check out the crew quarters and see some of the astronauts personal items.

In addition to the tour, Google has also whipped up a fun and educational ISS-themed informational program. Aimed specifically at younger virtual space tourists, the show attempts to illustrates what life on the station is like. It covers everything from what and how the visiting astronauts eat to the effect that zero-gravity takes on their bodies while they orbit the Earth.

If your virtual trip to the ISS has only managed to stoke your appetite for more space content, Google has you covered.
