This is the ultimate hotrod.

Hold your left button on the mouse to 'steer' the video. You can see the floor and ceiling. There must be a 1,000 switches.

Damn for a multi billion dollar machine you'd think they could have gave those guys some Recaros or something instead of steel plates with a little padding to sit on.

Oh, and i've seen ricers with more gauges than that.

I was gonna say something about the seats too lol. Atleast give them a lazy boy. To many buttons!

[mad max]

Anybody who says " pilots are overpaid" are full of shit. Too know and remember what all those switches do or mean is quite a handful. Thats if everything is going as plan on top of that . Its not like you can just pull over and figure it out.

Yeah it's not like drag racing, you only get one pass to get it right or your ass is dead :lol:

I bet one of those buttons supplies the automatic blow-up dolls aka flotation devices lmao!

Likely not much padding needed for sitting when you are in space since your weight is zip compared to what it would be within earth's gravitational pull, but I do agree that the ergonomics of those benches leaves a lot to be desired. Still I would gladly sit shotgun on that piece of aluminum or titanium (whatever light weight alloy it is) just to feel the G's that thing would make on lift off.

Very true. Remember, this thing travels at 17,500 MPH. (That is the velocity required to escape Earth's gravity and atmosphere.)
