This is apparently awe inspiring. It's shot with cinema quality VR cameras in and outside the ISS. Here's a great review:

Curious about what life is really like on the ISS? This is your chance.

Warning: It might make you cry.

"There was a moment as I was looking down, as the calming blue and swirling white of planet Earth slowly lit up the darkness beneath me, filling up my bottomless view that I realized I had to stop my eyes from welling up or I’d ruin my VR headset's lenses. I’d read about moments like these from famed astronauts like Apollo 14’s Edgar D. Mitchell — epiphanic moments where the majesty of our homeworld and its tiny place within the cosmos smacks you dumb with awe and steals away your speech. This is the impact of episode one of Space Explorers: The ISS Experience, the latest virtual reality series from immersive filmmaking pioneers Felix and Paul Studios, which was shot over two years on the International Space Station.
