  1. This kind of thing is just sad... by fmaxwell · · Score: 1, Troll

    I always find it kind of pitiful when someone invests this much time and money building something which is really just a toy cockpit. I'd love to fly on the space shuttle, but its not going to happen and I'm not going to waste my time building expensive sets so that I can play "make-believe." Flying a single-engine Cessna, ultralight, or even a paramotor is a lot better than sitting in a pretend space shuttle cockpit.

  2. What's included and what's not? by GuyMannDude · · Score: 2, Troll

    Gotta love the caption on the photos, too:

    (Note: not all items in this photo are included in this auction)

    So I don't even know how much of that thing $15K buys! Maybe it just buys the frame and all the knobs are to be sold on another auction?

    Sheesh...
