 @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs one might also quibble about "controls" since the whole point of the craft is flight automation That pedantic point doesn't do much to alleviate the anxiety the craft can cause in any software engineer, though. If anything, it makes things worse.  @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs Can I assume an off-brand Xbox controller is also involved?  @ricci @SnoopJ @thomasfuchs Mad Catz, the #1 choice of little siblings that don't have a choice in which controller they get  @LittleFrank @qlp @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs This is what peak rocket control looks like @ricci @qlp @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs Elon probably saw this film and thought "I want to be that guy!" (He's the villain, if anyone hasn't seen The Wizard) @qlp @ricci @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs I‘m quite sure they do not recycle those mercury switches @qlp @ricci @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs well, mercury switches are at least really reliable @the_art_of_giving_up @ricci @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs While they are, but they are on or off and who knows what happens if/when it goes up into microgravity 😅 @ricci @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs funny enough, the US Military does use official xbox 360 controllers for things such as periscope control  @fingerless I believe that's how military spending works. @ricci @SnoopJ @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs does the capsule crackle and “that means it’s getting stronger” |
