Best shuttle cockpit photo EVER

HUGE 360-degree zoomable rotatable picture of the Shuttle cockpit. Not in space, unfortunately, but really good.

That is a very cool image indeed.

Nice. Thanks for the link. How do you get it to zoom though? I could easily rotate but could not figure out how to get it to zoom in on the instruments.

ETD: Ah. Got it; Ctrl or Shift. :-)

The scroll wheel does zoom for me.

But the shuttle cockpit doesn't /work/! I tried pushing buttons and switches and nothing happened! *g* (Yes, I want a full working simulator. Lifesize. In my lounge. I wonder if NASA will be putting their training simulators on eBay?)

(And I loved the sudden intrusion of modern technology -- a Dell laptop at the back, which could probably eat any of the shuttle's computers for breakfast. On the other hand, this last mission the crew repaired one of the shuttle's computers in flight, try to do that with a laptop...)
