For those interested, NASA provided an interesting virtual tour of the orbiter Columbia for STS-90:
Virtual Tour of Columbia

Surprisingly, it's done in an LCARS format (NASA trekkers!).

And, for information on the history of Columbia:

I wonder how long it'll be before someone starts doing coach tours of Columbia. . .

Wow. There's alot of buttons. I like pressing buttons. It was quite enjoyable to do the virtual tour. I didn't know what the Shuttle looked like on the inside. I only had a basic idea from the old Space Shuttle game for the original NES. And even then I couldn't even get into orbit. I know, bad. But I was Five years old and I didn't know what a gimball meant. and the button mashing was horrible [Smile]
