#interestingly the symbol we see on the passageways are that of earth

Huh, the first simulation we see takes place in the ocean, which is largely not understood and that is appropriately likened to our knowledge of the brain. 
If the ending scene is showing the next level in the experiment and it takes place in space, that is something humans have explored a bit more and therefore understand better. So could that be an analogy to the experiment advancing a step further towards the answers being sought out? 
I mentioned previously that the ending scene could be the start of a new type of simulation where the characters are actually aware of their predicament but still have to find a way out of the loop, in which case the symbolism of space as discussed above would be even more fitting.
The characters would actually know more about their situation in this instance, but there would still be many things they don’t understand and need to find answers to, just like with our current knowledge of the ocean vs. space.
If the third (?) season is going to represent the final level in the experiment/type of simulation, it could simply take place on land, the median between the sky and the ocean and the thing most grounded to the human brain.
