So many thoughts go through my head from the picture and article.
Why go with wireless? If you're insistent on a controller, wouldn't wired make more sense purely for reliability? I'm not an engineer, but I would easily bet that Logitech didn't design the controller with that environment in mind. Also, did they pack extra batteries?
why fully digital? I don't see any backup controls in the picture. What happens if the PC or controller fails?
is it running off a standard PC? PCs can work but aren't optimal for real time needs like this. I hope they didn't just load up some custom software on a Windows PC and call it a day
in another article, they said exterior crew bolted them in. This Echoes of Apollo one. Imagine they're just off course and are able to make it to the surface. What a sad way to die if they were so close to semi-safety but ended up suffocating because they couldn't open the hatch.
This is what happens when the Elon Musks of the world are allowed to pretend to be engineers
