There are over 1,000 hardware and software switches, controls, circuit breakers, and computer displays in the Space Shuttle cockpit. These switches allow Astronauts a huge amount of control over the operations of the shuttle. Even if a shuttle crew lost all control with Mission Control immediately after lift-off, they would still have all the necessary controls to reach orbit and return safely. The huge amount of switches and controls also allows astronauts to deal with almost any minor emergency or failure that could arise on orbit.
