The View On Board places the audience onto the spacecraft as it approaches 16 Psyche. The painting depicts an ordinary living room with Taters sitting on a sofa and a centerpiece with the lucky peanuts sitting on top. At the center is a larger window through which the viewer can see a close up of the Psyche asteroid as it floats through space. A telescope and solar system model frames the window.

A white sphere floats in a dark void. A plane appears beneath it, and the sphere falls, creating ripples on the plane’s surface. A pillar raises the sphere into the sky, where three helices pull the sphere into space. The sphere navigates through a field of floating stars, flies past Mars and its moons, and arrives at a large sphere, the Psyche asteroid. The asteroid splits apart and fades away.

The Psyche spacecraft is portrayed as an android with human features, wearing a paper crown and a serene expression. It sits in a small, minimal room draped in thick cloth, and lifts the obscuring cloth from models of Earth and Mars. On a dresser is a model Falcon Heavy in a bottle, and a framed picture of Earth from orbit. A picture of the asteroid hangs from the wall with a festive garland.

Connected to a clear acrylic dowel, flowing arches in a variety of shapes reach out, in order from smallest to largest, on both the right and left sides. Since the pieces are placed offset from the previous piece, the arches appear to be moving outwards from the center when spun, like ripples in water. The way the pieces flow out is to mimic the magnetic field surrounding the Psyche spacecraft.
