...and that is technology that is going on 30 years old....I can't wait to see what the next generation's space craft looks like-oh wait, nevermind.....
Wow, so many dials, buttons, and knobs! I wonder what type of function each one serves! That's a LOT of stuff to learn and memorize! (The user manual must be as thick as a stack of phone books! )
A lot smaller than I expected. I thought all the astronauts sat together in the cockpit during launch and re-entry, but there doesn't appear to be enough room for 7 people.

IIRC, there is a back area. Which leads to some pretty bizarre thoughts.
"Hey! Up front! Can you not hit as many potholes?"
followed by another back seat driver going "Are we there yet?"
followed by the pilot saying
"Don't MAKE me stop this shuttle and come back there."
It's real cool but I sure wish that you could hit the swiches and controls and if you come up with the right sequence that the dam thing would start-up!
