The Earth Globe located in front of Mission Space at Epcot, represents Earth as seen from space, with no easily recognisable land masses, more the blue planet with lots of white clouds.

Mission Space - Simulates what an astronaut might experience aboard a spacecraft mission to Mars, from the higher G-force of blast-off, Slingshot around the Moon & Landing on Mars.

Rocket Shuttle to the Red Planet:
"Fulfill your fantasy of being an astronaut as you dodge meteors, navigate nebulae and slingshot around the moon.

Before you board, actor Gary Sinise briefs you as you prepare for your mission to Mars on the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle at the International Space Training Center (ISTC). Each member of your 4-cadet crew will assume an important role: navigator, pilot, commander or engineer. During your flight, each cadet will be instructed to initiate a mission-critical sequence, so be prepared!

Board your vessel, lower your harness and brace yourself for the incredible force of lift-off. Get goose bumps as you arc around the moon and then hold on tight as you attempt a precarious precision landing on the Red Planet’s alien surface.

Your crew is counting on you to do your part to ensure a successful mission and a safe trip back to Earth!" Text Source; (visit link)
