Training for zero-g prostate exams?
The headset sticks to your face and the screen turns on. A gentle British voice starts speaking into your ears
“Welcome to NASA’s medicine in microgravity course. Let’s dive right in, shall we? For the first lesson, ensure your index and middle fingers are generously lubricated…”
I initially thought this might be AI generated because it looked a little bit odd to me, but nope, seems to be real!
Here’s some other ones from NASA:

The Mercury, or maybe Apollo mission space suit photos had the some of the real astronauts in silver spray painted work boots because the actual boots weren’t ready when the photo was taken. NASA knows how to promo.

Looks more likely to be a sticker or fridge magnet that they slapped on a project enclosure. This one looks to be almost identical, and it seems like they used their headsets for a virtual wind tunnel and for navigating Antarctic submersibles.
Idk why but it looks soooo fake
Looks like me when I play any VR game. If I’m not pistol whipping, I’m monologuing like a supervillain 😂
