3 things I learned from that:

1) Nasa love switches
2) Astronauts really love velcro
3) Astronauts really hate cleaning

The original layout (green screen CRTs) had even more dials and switches



The Apollo Command Module was even more festooned with switches - and, of course - no TV screens of any sort



And the Apollo crews would definitely overtake Shuttle (or Soyuz) crews. The Apollo spacecraft reached a maximum speed of 25,000 mph, a good 7,500 mph faster than any earth orbiting spacecraft can.
