Not long ago we closed the FAA AFSS (Automated Flight Service Station) in Louisville. After all the briefers were gone, we spent the next year tearing apart and junking all of their consoles, including the very nice supervisor's console. The building is now an empty shell. Looking back, what a wonderful place that would have been for an "Orbiter Command Center". Kids from all over could come to learn what it's like to be on the ground controlling missions, which could easily be done with Orbiter. Maybe that's another thing to do ... set up a half dozen laptops in a classroom and simulate a mission command center. Let the mission controller be at the teacher's desk.
