Becoming an astronaut and going to space is a long, difficult process - as it should be - but one company wants to simulate the experience for the legions of people who will never accomplish the feat.

According to The Verge, SpaceVR started a Kickstarter fund on Monday to deliver the experience only 536 people have ever had. The company is aiming to raise $500,000 to put a 12-camera device on a cargo capsule headed to the International Space Station (ISS).

The goal is to capture the trip in a 360-degree view to be used for a virtual reality headset program that would let people actually see what it is like to go to space.

SpaceVR also stated on their Kickstarter page they would like to send a virtual reality camera to the moon in 2017, another one to an asteroid in 2022, and yet another one to Mars "as soon as 2026."

But for the experience of going to the ISS, they are asking for $500,000, of which they have raised nearly $6,000 as of Monday afternoon.

"Being in space and looking down at the Earth, astronauts are hit with an astounding reality: our planet is a tiny, fragile ball of life, 'hanging in the void,' shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. Astronauts refer to this as the Overview Effect," SpaceVR stated on its Kickstarter page. "The idea of national boundaries vanishes, the conflicts that divide people become irrelevant, and the need to come together as a civilization to protect this "pale blue dot" becomes both obvious and imperative."
