I'd like it if someone gave me a little badge while saluting when the doors open.

Loop Holes in Mission: SPACE

Not at all. Taken as is, it's a great attraction. Knowing what it once was and what it was proposed to be taints it a little. Like the Imagination pavilion.
But then where does theme vs cost saving stop or meet? Exposed services. No ceilings. Bland corridors. Exposed ride system. Industrial or less expensive?

You do realize that this was just a Tie-in for Touchstone Pictures Ill fated Box office Flop.
And what a Coincidence that Gary Sinise is in the film and His Character Survived (But,They don't want to Admit that this is based on the film)...
You know...the last time I was watching the preshow I was thinking: "Wasn't Gary Sinise in that Mars movie?" And I never second guessed it, just brushed it off...makes sense now.

The epic background music? The sentimental song at the end(see below)? For a training mission? What's there to be sentimental about? You didn't experience any real danger.
Oh well, at least the background music sounds good in the Epcot entrance loop...
That song is god awful... screams Disney Channel.

If everything were exactly the same, except the story was that you were really going to Mars and there was some kind of effect where you could see this massive shuttle-rocket contraption tower above you as you were loading instead of just seeing the boring old capsule... I think I would love this ride.
Why yes I like Carsland, Ariel's Undersea Adventure, and Buena Vista Street.

Do you like anything in WDW or are you a West Coaster here trolling this site?
I grew up in Orlando Florida and yes I enjoy some things in WDW still... though its a limited list nowadays because they took a crap on everything down there since I left. I live in Nebraska now and visit the West Coast instead because I'm paying money for a quality product instead of a tired broken jalopy.

I like the words to the song, but you're right, the person singing it? is a bit Disney Radio like? "On Hero's wings we fly. Reaching out. The future's in our hands. Destiny begins with you and me!" I still kinda like it though.
BTW, I like Mission Space too. It's not my favorite, but I don't hate it! I guess when I'm riding it w/ my kids, we pretend we're actually working together to fly into space. It's kinda cool "playing " w/ the joystick and such! LOL.

I always new it wasn't doing anything but for me it always added to the ride. It's called participation, even if it isn't real. If you did the actions that they suggested when they suggested it, you actually did feel the results (yes, even though it would have happened if you hadn't push or pulled anything). In fact, I told my grandson that it was important to push the buttons, but if he forgot or didn't react on them the computer would take over for him and do it anyway. It was just more fun to do the assigned job.
The whole simulation thing could have been solved by just saying that we were the first "civilian" flyers to go to Mars. I truly doubt that many people felt that they were actually taking a rocket to Mars anyway. Or maybe by emphasizing simulator, it prevented a lot of kids from wetting themselves thinking it was really happening.

Quirky, weird, sentimental near the end. But it was a good two(?) hours spend.

I love me some cheesy Disney songs, but Destiny is indeed crossing over into Disney Radio territory. The singer sounds like some tween star that nobody above the age of fourteen should legally be subjected to.I like the words to the song, but you're right, the person singing it? is a bit Disney Radio like? "On Hero's wings we fly. Reaching out. The future's in our hands. Destiny begins with you and me!" I still kinda like it though.

The joysticks are fun. They also serve another purpose: they give me something to grab hold off and squeeze, because, however much I like M:S, I am terrified of that thing. I get claustrophobic, am afraid the ride will get stuck in 'spinning position', have all sorts of doom scenarios running through my head. I'm afraid in M:S in the wrong kind of way. The way some coasters terrify you not for their thrills but because you mistrust the restraint and fear you will fall out.
I still ride that puppy though! There is something addictive about those g-forces! A feeling both awful and hypnotising.
I think If Disney created a holodeck ala Star Trek TNG, people would still complain it was a crappy attraction
