      The first question I had when I saw the live stream was: Wait, this thing is all touchscreen? I'm scared I won't be able to adjust the A/C in my car if the touchscreen fails. I'm not trying to dock with another object at 17,000 MPH.
      The touch screen aspect was part of the reason I asked if the general public would benefit from the development.

      First the coding requirements to be able to run that- which was covered in a reply. And then the electronics requirements. One thing to note- automotive requirements are much more stringent than normal tablets- so the step from a car to the space ship may not be that much more- just different testing.

      Really, I see no reason why SpaceX would not start with a Model S center console- it should be tested to more vibration and wider environmental ranges than a normal tablet or screen. And for sure it's more protected for EM since it's surrounded by batteries and coils.

        It's not secret. That's why I'm so devastated he's not Doctor Evil.

        He's the Love Guru.

            That's turning out to be a tricky design. Reading one article tells that the previous 4 failed pressure tests, while this was the 5th test on this system. Hopefully, there's enough remains to figure out the problem.

              Let's try this again.

              We're still in the moron Good Morning America part of the feed.

                On TV, now, too. Still 50/50.

                    T -1:00 and still go. Just like before. Weather appears to be better, but that's just local looking.

                        I remember back in the 60's the whole country would stop and watch when there was a televised(most of them seemed to be) launch

                          Things look promising for the most part. T-18 now.

                              I'm pretty sure it's you. Don't watch.
