Very impressive, and I thought it would have a button to turn the engines on and one to turn it off.
A pic of my panel at work.
Not as complex as it looks.
Do you work with saturation diving loonies, by chance?A pic of my panel at work.

That was my initial thoughts.
Well yes but, joking aside, no not loonies, professional divers, most have been diving over 20 years now, very experienced chappies, without them we would have no oil and gas coming into the shores of UK.The pic is the saturation control panel in the National Hyperbaric Centre in Aberdeen, We have a dive coming up next week at 170 msw, so I will be working 12 hour shifts, all good fun.
Offshore diving is a 24/7 process 365 days a year, with average depth of 100 msw. Divers spend max of 6 hours out of the bell working.
Space shuttle is a doddle really by comparisson.

Don't get me wrong Vipers, I have every respect for these guys and an appreciation of what we get out of it, but it is a stupidly dangerous way of making a living you must, surely, admit.The pic is the saturation control panel in the National Hyperbaric Centre in Aberdeen, We have a dive coming up next week at 170 msw, so I will be working 12 hour shifts, all good fun.

I guess they would have to be fairly nimble to not hoof something while climbing in to their seat.
*WHOOP WHOOP* EJECTION IN 30 SECONDS! 29... 28...
"DAVE!!! What did you kick???"
No ejection seats fitted.*WHOOP WHOOP* EJECTION IN 30 SECONDS! 29... 28...

(Apart from the first 4 missions).
The picture shows the final cockpit layout. The original layout was different, with more dials and switches and green screen CRT displays.
