It is suspected that the planets are in proportion to the planet size, not distance apart.
Jupiter serves as the entryway.
Mars--the destination of the attraction--is freestanding, as is Earth. It features a model of the spacecraft from the simulation blasting off.
The Moon is hidded just behind Earth, and stands as a memorial for all manned missions to the surface. It features colored gems at each landing site and the associated mission/astronauts.
