The emergency exit plug(?) is not installed correctly. The section marked "forward" is facing starboard.
What's wrong in this picture?

Touchdown! Greaser!
With everything wrong with this picture, I don't see this thing flying anytime soon.

The shuttle flight deck is pretty busy:

I don't think that's an escape hatch, it just doubles as one. I think that's the star finder for an AstroNav type unit, and it would likely rotate.

The flight deck of the world's largest airplane, the Antonov An-225. Somehow the Garmin 196 clamped to the panel makes it look a little more ... accessible, no?

It actually looks quite simple to fly. All the warning lights are what belie the system compexity though.

Right, the engineering and nav stations, that's where things get complicated. Pilots have it easy.

Yea I think you might have a winner there.
So, if we were to consider our youth to be the future of mankind and the budding astronauts of tomorrow, what is wrong with this picture?

Okay Russian, I get the blue panels but what is up with the polka-dot upholstery?

The cooling fans seem typically Russian, too. The 1958 An-2 I flew in last summer in Germany had similar fans.
The seats could use a little more padding.
Why?
They don't sit in them but for a few minutes. I don't think it's even a half hour between re entry and touch down. Hell we spent all day in wooden seats in school.

Looks like they do have Velcro for lower and rear seat cushions.
The pressure suits and parachutes they wear during takeoff and landing seem to have enough built-in padding:

Why?
...and walk up hill both ways, to and from.

They could have put tacks on the seat bottom and I would have still strapped in.
