Elam Bend added,
the only thing analog about that entire vehicle is when the fuel goes shooting out the back everything else depends on computers working flawlessly, might as well do the same thing for the instrument panel
that was true of the apollo rockets, come to think of it
not convinced there were any comparators and summing junctions in there. that went out with naval fire control in WWII. if you ever get a chance though check out those old mechanical analog fire control machines they are amazing.
I took the "go inside and see everything" tour of the Missouri, that was fun Standing inside fire control was really something. Literally standing in the middle of a computer. Walls full of switches and dials all around you.
amazing that they could hold those big guns steady on against the pitching and rolling of the sea.
and put a shell on a football field 25 miles away
or a baseball field, if we're going to be pragmatic
