I'm not in love with the ceiling and a few of the details, but I actually like it. The corridors have a kind of Andromeda Strain look to them that I like. That the bridge control panels appear identical on pairs of stations is a little perplexing, though.

Then again, in NASA's Houston control most of the stations look identical to the layman.
I'm hardly a layman when it comes to interfaces. It's tough to tell without closer angles, but it looks like paired consoles are literal mirror images of each other, down to the switches and gizmos. Fine if you're duplicating funntionality, but you wouldn't mirror everything just for symmetry.

Looking at the bridge again, I see what you mean. My only theory might be that in the future there is a larger percentage of left-handed people and to be politically correct they had to provide workstations that were as "ergonomically correct" as the ones for right-handed people?:wtf:
