It would be fun in VR, because of the wow factor of feeling like you are standing on one of these alien worlds, but it isn't clear if they will eventually add that.
It's been hinted that it may be a PSVR title, which could be interesting.

Obviously it doesn't have the procedural planetary surface stuff (yet) but Elite Dangerous has everything else that NMS has and it's much better - plus it works really well in VR. Drifting by millions of asteroids in some gas planet's rings in Elite, in VR, was nothing short of astounding

Also in ED there is much more of a sense of exploration and discovery, especially when you're hundreds of lightyears away from the nearest inhabited system hoping you don't run out of fuel and get stranded
