Dude they have a Dell....
Those seats do not look too comfortable. Did you see all the buttons overhead? Good grief!
I guess the rest of the Astronauts are below? Not actually as I thought it would look like, but it’s still pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty cool. I think they need just a few more switches, dials and knobs. I wonder which button turns on the coffee maker.

wow - where’s the fuel gauge? :-)

Those seats do not look too comfortable.
Remember that the seats are designed to hold astronauts wearing full pressure suits.

I dont get it. Where do the other astronauts sit?
During ascent and landing four astronauts sit on the flight deck - the Mission Commander (left seat) and Pilot (right seat) up front - those seats are in place, then two Mission Specialists behind them (those seats, which are offset to the left to allow one of the Mission Specialists to see between the MC and Pilot) are not present in the picture. They're also removed and stowed after ascent to provide more space, especially to view the cargo bay and operate the Canadarm).
Up to four astronauts can sit on the mid-deck, below the flightdeck. Those seats are removed and stowed during flight as well. So eight astronauts total. There has never been an ascent with more than seven astronauts, but at least one flight (space station return mission) with eight aboard.

Just navigating around the Flight Deck with my mouse made me dizzy! Makes you feel like you are floating weightless!
