Apart from getting your name on a stellar body the only reason to go exploring is the journey and that space is really cool.
No man's sky with the art direction and what I see in the demo I feel more like playing this from the couch.
Space is cool in ED yeah, and it blows my mind how everything is to scale...but it also sucks that everything is to scale. When there's not a lot to actually DO in ED, making the time it takes to get between the things there is to do take forever is a chore.
Don't get me wrong I really love ED, its great but have never shaken the feeling its still in Beta even though it is Version 1.x
Strangely enough I play ED from my couch anyway, I have my keyboard on the arm of the sofa, my mouse on a hard surface next to me and a headset for Voice Attack, with my TV pretty close so its nice and big and immersive...and comfy!
When they release the Xbox One controller UI to the PC version of ED which they have said they will then I will probably just go straight up controller as it plays very nicely on the Xbox One demo
