Quite snazzy really.

And here's Ripley, all ready to go:
There is a row of touchscreen monitors above the two central seats. The seats raise up to the monitors once the crew are strapped in.
Here, NASA Astronaut Suni Williams practices on the Crew Dragon mock up:
It's very minimalist. There's very few physical buttons and switches.
And for a video tour:

More marketing crap “ripley” “Starhip” it’s a wonder they didn’t call the dummy Kirk
Don’t be such a misery; Its a bit of harmless fun. It’s not a pointless shop dummy either, it’s a crash test dummy loaded with sensors and a microphone to measure sound levels. They used one for the pad abort test 3 years ago and they plan to use Ripley again for the in flight abort test in a few months. Blue Origin call their test subject Manikin Skywalker.

The test manikin is called "Ripley".
Let's hope there's no Alien aboard too, or it'll make short work of the ISS crew.

The problem is, whenever Toaster posts on this topic, it generates a whole raft of follow up posts about Toaster. I fell for this too.
His negative attitude is well known and his posts are fairly predictable and monotonous now.
He's best ignored as he drags the discussion way off topic all the time and it is massively annoying.
