With a screen that has an adaptable interface it's much easier UX on the astronaut as the controls increase. Also I'm sure ground control can push an emergency update if need be where you wouldn't quite have that luxury with manual controls.
- meritganset 6y agoDo you even understand the statement you're making? By your account, the astronauts to knowing the controls of the spacecraft by heart is a negative. You honestly believe that a CHANGING INTERFACE is less of a cognitive load on an astronaut than a fixed, tactile one? You also then must believe that we're sending human being s into space without them knowing the controls of the vehicle by heart. Does your mental model of spaceflight coincide with what it's like to learn how the HVAC works a new car when you buy it from the dealership? Astonishing.
- meritganset 6y agoYou're right. If I remember correctly, we've never made it to space with physical controls. They probably weigh too much.
