Who's driving?

Ever wondered what it looks like to sit in the cockpit of the space shuttle whilst in space?

Note: I know that when in orbit no one needs to drive. I'm not that stupid.

Nice, but the earth and stars is badly photoshopped and in reality flight rules would be stuck to the blue velcro everwhere

The Cockpit image is real, the backdrop isn't

"In Space No One Can Hear You Scream".

Not a lot different to an Airbus cockpit. Probably as much fun, better view!

If you zoom in you can see the Satnav: "Warning! Speed Camera, 275mtrs. Limit 30MPH"

Those switches are looking a bit rusty - I guess it's showing its age.

Was it really 29 years ago I was watching the live coverage of Columbia's first return to earth?

I feel old.
