Just click on the picture and move the mouse in any direction to scan.
And check out the ceiling.
This one's a keeper for "History's Sake"

Yeah, supposedly those computers had a whopping 128K RAM, lightning quick at that time.

The flight computer aboard the space shuttle has less than one percent of the power of an Xbox 360 game console. Astronauts load programs directing the phases of a mission - liftoff, orbit, landing - into the computer one at a time after removing the program for the previous segment. Why hasn't NASA upgraded the computer? The agency values its 30-year history of reliability. That said, astronauts don't go into space with only one computer. Crew laptops and other laptops also make the trip.

Bill Gates offered to upgrade their system and have it run under Windows. NASA declined the offer.  ;D

That's like the old joke that Microsoft made a car, but it never got past R&D because it took ten minutes to start and crashed every five miles!

If you look behind the driver's seat, you'll see someone's head under the floor.
