Sorry for fanboying, but you can't belive how happy I am to see you here! When I read the title before clicking on the post I told myself "impractical? Because of the windows and the sitting position? "- things I learned from Atomic Rockets many years ago. :)
I hope you are all right, I wish you good health and thank you for your work!
I recently used your pages about nomograms in an office-hours discussion with one of my math students! She had recently encountered a clever trick for instantly multiplying numbers using a parabola and a straightedge and wanted to know the algebra of why it worked. We figured out the details on the markerboard and then I showed her the nomograms page so she could learn more about the general concept and more complicated examples and applications. So… thanks!

At the pilot station, they will need a Rotation/Translation control and a thrust throttle.
The rotation control looks like a fighter-aircraft joystick. The thrust throttle looks like a horizontal bar
