Put yourself in the Space Shuttle driver seat with this incredible panorama shot

This really is an amazing tool to allow you to explore the flight deck of the Space Shuttle.

The incredible detail allows you to check out and read every single switch and dial.

You can even see clearly just how worn things are - even the main thrust control handle. You wouldn't think it got that much use...

And the fact that there is a separate manual switch or dial for every function really does give you an idea just how old these things were and why they were retired.


Jump over the National Geographic and enjoy yourself!

And when you are finished exploring the flight deck, check out the mid-deck, the undercarriage (serious ad for Michelin there!), and even the toilet!
