You should listen to the astronauts. SpaceX is developing all of it with them and for them. They seem quite happy with UI because it allows rapid iteration on procedures. If they screw up something SpaceX can adjust interface within days. With space shuttle they would need to wait months and months.
- nabla9 6y agoAstronauts and pilots just talk PR to the public. "It's great, I'm so happy, we are all happy family. We had say on how these things work." Wait until they retire to find out the truth.
- ineedasername 6y agoI mean, it's possible, but I'm skeptical of any argument here that assumes the astronauts would be willing to risk their lives using systems interfaces they believed would cost them precious time in a life & death situation. At least without more direct evidence than speculation that can't be disproved for upwards of a few decades.
- Isinlor 6y agoAstronauts are backed by NASA - no small agency mind you. If they would find things that they do not accept they can trigger safety reviews anytime. BTW - On Soyuz they would need sticks, literal sticks, to interact with controls that are out of reach.
- nabla9 6y agoAstronauts at NASA are specially taught in PR. They have to protect their partners. You absolutely can't fight astronaut or military pilot being frank of things they don't like.
