Jeff Highsmith's son just started school and needed a desk to do homework on. They had recently visited the Kennedy Space Center, and his son found a new interest in all things space, so Jeff make the desk into this mind-boggling control panel.

The video demonstrating the project is quite impressive check it out."

    Oooh, I would've figuratively killed kittens for something like this when I was a kid. I begged my parents to let me decorate my room in a space-ship theme, but they wouldn't go for it (they wouldn't go for space camp, either). I had to make do with the same cardboard-box-based lunar modules that apparently everyone else did. To tell the truth, I did have a lot of fun building my cardboard rocket ship and blasting off to parts unknown, despite the fact my controls were all drawn on in crayon. I imagine I might've died of sensory overload if I'd been presented with something as cool as this kid's control panel.
