A little too utilitarian for my tastes.

After multiple views, I was able to spot a few small areas not covered by buttons and switches.  That should have been corrected.

I like the Dell laptop.  It has more computing power then the entire Space Shuttle had on board during it's first flights.

I was wondering about that. It certainly seems out of place. Not to speak ill of Dell but my last one had two motherboards replaced in the 3-years service contract.

I saw the Apollo module in the NASA museum in DC some years ago - absolutely incredible to travel in something like that.

If you look above the pilots left foot the object looks like a Garmin GPS.  Now I know how the Shuttle finds the runway from space.

I think a couple of hanging fuzzy dice are needed for comic relief!


I don't see the Garmin look-alike, milford3.  :scratch:

Not to mention the fact that it's 35 year old technology at this point. Amazing it still does the job.
