One of the science fiction stories I am working on has a couple of scenes in the Shuttleâ€™s Cockpit.

What goes on in the cockpit is a little different from what I originally pictured. I am amazed at how wrong I was about some things after all these years of watching the shuttle fly.

I had never given it much thought before, but it is rather interesting what goes on in that cockpit.

I have some rewriting to do.
