Very cool. Makes my head hurt.

That makes me intensely proud, awed, and profoundly saddened at the same time.

makes me wonder just how many switches you really need and can be expected to learn and use.

That's super cool. Wish it was a 360 with zoom and stuff.

Looks like they have kept the MFD's upgraded and everything still look so new. When you see military cockpits, everything is super clean and in perfect working order but you can tell it has been used a lot with paint/coatings being rubbed off and paint chipped. That looks brand new. Guessing absolutely none of what I am looking at is original or 'factory'.

I can't help but think that an expert in user interfaces could take all that and make an IPAD ap that would make everything 10,000x easier/faster/better/etc.

I'd love some very high res pics of that, I'd frame one to life size if I could.

Awesome!

Now if somebody could just dig up some big titty girls with beer spewing from their nipples. (hint).

That's just too complicated looking. I prefer the simplicity of the Russian space shuttle Buran . No bright lights and screens to distract me. LOL!!

Oh and edited to add, it also includes padded seats too!!

I imagine there is a lot of redundancy there and that most of those switches are backups to the same selections on the MFD's. If the computer goes down I bet they grab a huge book of procedures with pics and checklists of where to find the right toggle switches though I am sure they train a lot with it too.

Ben Cooper has captured some amazing photographs from various parks and nature areas across the US, too.

Pic I found in my photobucket account. Up until the layoffs, my dad helped build the ET at the Michoud facility in New Orleans.

Ginormous collection of space shuttle images here. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/multimedia/index.html

I pray that we will see the USA become the leader in manned space flight within my lifetime. If that must be via commercial collaboration, then so be it.

And the funny thing about it is it flew unmanned.

Where does the door-gunner sit ? I know they have one, I met one in the food court at Merritt Square before a mission... or so he claimed.

...except that ship never had a crew. The only flight was automated. I suspect the final system was never installed.

I hope my boy's will someday appreciate the opportunity they had at the NBL and VMF in Houston.

Now our astronauts get to ride this instead.

The STS is just a bit more complicated then that.
