"Dang, what's this little red switch for again?"
Sheesh trying to memorize all the buttons would be a bear. I bet they can't wait till the upgrade comes when they'll have touch screens.

At the link above you see the actual cockpit of the US Space Shuttle Discovery- note insulation panels installed over windows for re-entry- guess they get a little warm. The caption to the 360° view says:
Space Shuttle Discovery's flight deck during decommissioning in the Orbiter Processing Facility
The Orbiter Processing Facility is at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, not in orbit. ;^) Note the trouble light behind the Commander's seat.
It's interesting to note how much the Shuttles have changed over their 30 years of service. Here is an image of a first generation Shuttle cockpit. Notice how many more analog gauges there are:

Wow, not only does it rotate, but you can zoom in and out, go up and down or go left or right. Wonder what that thing is that has Canada on it.
