From the latest video NASA uploaded, the astronauts explain that the UI sends "commands", and if it fails, they have physical buttons below the screen to send these commands.

- smarx007 6y agoThe UI at 2:22 is very similar to the one discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23162820 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23162820 as seems to use three.js and GSAP. Also, the open-source Lato font seems to be used throughout the interface.
- throworangeaway 6y agoopen-source Lato font That'd be a really nice touch, one of my favourite fonts for effects. Released after client who commissioned it, a chain of retail bookstores, rejected the design. Largest deployment till now, although just dumped in redesign, was for headings at classifieds website OLX. Caught eyes for a while I guess. No need then for an especially legible font for cockpit screens like Airbus required https://b612-font.com/ https://b612-font.com/ following decades of practices in avionics. Of course the use-case is different and I'm sure everything is adequate for SpaceX goals. Like with the several layers of spontaneously rebooting virtual machines in Tesla cars, in the end branding looks gorgeous.
