People shouldn't die for Musk.

I hope it goes well so one of Elon's products doesn't kill more people than they already have.

or you know any kind of thrust that rotates or accelerates the ship laterally is going to jostle your arm relative to the screen

i dunno how big those forces are though, so maybe they're small enough that it's just mildly annoying, and not something that they have to grab edge of the screen with their other hand to control

I just had this hilarious thought of the astronauts unable to activate something because they can't do a pinch or a spread motion on it. Or if the screen locked and could only be unlocked by fingerprints like a cell phone lol

Part of the preflight involves screaming at a camera so the face unlock is able to recognize the astronauts is an emergency.

Can’t wait for the gforces to gently caress up the touchscreen calibration and it registers a touch wrong that spikes the rocket into the ground. Everything about this has been designed for appearance and not function. It’s the most American, capitalist thing that could have come out of this hell time line for space :laffo:

Lol, cockpit shot shows both of them pumping their arms up and down faster and faster, matching their timing to an onscreen Wii Fit Trainer to make rocket go up.

I was about 2 years old so I remember little else other than her being all "oh my god" when we got back in and saw what actually happened
