I believe he meant at a public school, not including professionally built simulators.
Also, since he built it in the early 90's, the glass cockpits were still in the planning stages.
If you bothered to read (or even look at the pictures), you'd see that MOST of the switches turn on lights. Also, the green computer pushbuttons actually operate the computers - I think that's pretty impressive engineering.
I went to this school in the mid-90's, and participated in this program. Let me tell you, this was the coolest thing I'd ever done - and nothing I've done since comes close.
We trained for five or six weeks, learning all the shuttle's systems and how they worked. We also trained in the simulator for several days, practicing the procedures over and over. We even landed the shuttle with some kind of computer sim.
It makes me mad to see some of your criticism. It's easy to criticize someone else's efforts, but I don't imagine any of you ever began to accomplish something as impressive as this.
If there were more dedicated teachers like this one, there would be a lot less of you jerks sitting in front of your computers all day in your momma's basement.

That's how e-bay works, doesn't it? The buyer always pays for shipping.
Just because it's already packed doesn't mean it didn't cost anything - in fact it says it was professionally crated. That ain't free
I'd like to see you do something like that
That's just sick.
Uh, yes, you are ignorant. Can you design, build and program something like that?
"It was a good way for me to fucked up school..."?
With grammar and spelling like that, you probably should have gone to class more.
