1. An airborne space simulator, comprising:

  • an aircraft having a cargo hold area, the aircraft being capable of taking off and landing; and

    only one single portable cabin module independent of the aircraft cargo hold area for being fixedly mounted inside the cargo hold area spaced a distance away from the side walls of the aircraft cargo hold area of the aircraft, the only one single portable cabin module having a closed interior space simulating an interior of a spacecraft designed for space flight, with seats inside and attached to the only one single portable cabin module, and side window video screens and sound emitters for displaying recorded audio/video positioned between the aircraft side walls and an exterior of the only one single portable cabin module to simulate sensory effects of space flight travel liftoff, wherein the only one single portable cabin module is stationary within the aircraft cargo hold area when the aircraft physically takes off from ground level to simulate motion effects of space flight travel liftoff to passengers in the seats within the only one single portable cabin module; and

    helmets for each of the seated passengers, the helmets having cabin air intake vents on a front portion of the helmets, and built in wire-less headsets for allowing each of the seated passengers to hear remote verbal directions and commands.
