A Planetary Imaging Environment, Or PIE, allows would-be astronauts with a virtual experience of being on another celestial body at a far more reasonable price than actually attempting to land and colonize. It can also be used for training as well, since it can emulate nearly exact conditions of the target planet or moon (natural satellite). As the first of a series, this one copies the natural surface and atmosphere (or lack thereof) of our own Moon, which we have known before the very dawn of time.
Note: Originally, the name of this contraption was The Planetary Environment Emulator, but that ended up with a rather unfortunate acronym...
