Is it gages or guages? Does it depend what dialect you speak?

Either gages or gauges is accepted. Guages is not.

Gages in the large bore cannon producing world, guages for welding supplies. Dunno about space ships.

Wow, all that money and high tech equipment in the space shuttle and just look at that seat. Must have run out of money for something decent.

guess you didn't notice the dell laptop to the left rear of the cockpit
And if you think about it.. how long would the captain of the shuttle actually have to sit on that? once they hit orbit, it's all microgravity

B36 Engineer console:
This is JUST the engineers console, not the pilots.
6 48 cylinder piston engines and 4 jet engines makes for a busy engineer!

My '95 Camaro had a "check gages" light. I blame AngryCorvair. He worked for GM at the time right?

I mean, I am sure take off is uncomfortable enough, but you gotta realize, 99% or more of mission time is spent in weightlessness, so not the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things...

Looks a bit like a submarine ship's control panel, especially with the curtains covering the windows.

The pilots face straight up on takeoff too, right? So it seems like a comfortable seat back would be much more important than seat bottom.

Me too. Beyond that, one of the ugliest pornstars in recent memory, she isn't even hot. If she wasn't doing porn, she'd just be getting stuffed by 5 different guys for money... oh wait a minute

Correct spelling for the instrument that reads sensors is gauge
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gauges
Gage is incorrect
