    In keeping with the Cornflake's original post, here (http://nasatech.net/#135) are some more 360 interior/exterior panoramic views of the Shuttle's Discovery, Endeavor and Atlantis(STS-133,STS-134 and and the current STS-135), in the VAB, on Pad 39A. Really stunning stuff.

    Look positively roomy.

    Especially compared to the soyuz capsules.

    If you have ever wondered what the controls for the most sophisticated machine man has ever built and assembled would look like. There you have it.

    I didn't know that there was two ways into the flightdeck, also has anyone seen an American flag ? I thought they would have one as there is a Canadian one for the robot arm.

    The wheel is a device not a machine. I wasnt referring to any singular device or innovation. And that wheel is in no way sophisticated, the wheels on a shuttle are far more sophisticated.

    I left the LHC out since its not a vehicle for context in this thread
