So many switches and buttons considering the thing practically flys itself.

anyone else wondering how that camera is able to take a 360 shot (including the top AND bottom) - floating in mid air?

As impressive as that is, I can't believe how dated it looks. That's some old school technology in there.

2.) Runs on 1MB of RAM
pretty good considering that they started thinking about this in the late '60's with the shuttle being designed in the '70's.

back then, computers were the size of fridges.

just think what NASA has in the works now considering how far technology has progressed in the past four decades.

edit: then again, the USA's budget crisis might put NASA on the backburner....

Agreed n your first sentence. Also, they would be limited to available energy when they are out in the space. Yes I know they can do solar power...but REMEMBER, they are in space...not at home.

So of course function > design

if they can run their things with 1MB of ram, then why would they over kill it with 2MB?
