I think if I got to fly by one planet in our solar system, I'd want it to be Saturn. The scene in Interstellar before they fly into the wormhole is one of the most beautiful space shots. I'd love to experience that in real life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WldmX1zu6vM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WldmX1zu6vM) Also, if there are any blossoming film directors hanging out on HN, I'd absolutely pay to watch a full-length movie of space travel of planetary fly bys.

Mr Wernquist made some excellent shorts. Would pay to see a 2+ hour feature in Imax. Sagan commentary/mix would great, but not required. http://www.erikwernquist.com/ http://www.erikwernquist.com/

I recently installed an app[0] on my mobile, viewing it with a Google Cardboard. My mobile has a comically-cracked screen and my cardboard's magnet-activated interaction button was missing and the head band too tight, so the viewer had to be held in hand - in short, the worst possible VR experience contemporarily possible. And yet, the experience of wooshing around Saturn was utterly awe-inspiring. My heart was in my throat. I'll likely never fly through the Solar Sytem, but I'm ok with that if I get to try whatever facsimile VR can offer in 20 years time.
