Yeah, I think "over built" would be a more applicable critique, if you're trying to find one. Those are some very substantial looking instrument panels.

- rbanffy 17y agoI like my spacecraft overbuilt, you insensitive clod ;-) The Soviet shuttle had some definite advantages over the American design. It had no engines of its own, it could carry a larger payload. Another nice touch was that it could be mounted on top of the booster instead of its side, preventing Columbia-like accidents. And it was fully automated - the only time it flew, was unmanned. Truly a great piece of equipment. Very impressive.
