NASA now uses giant touchscreens to teach astronauts how to fly to space

Before NASA astronauts can fly in new spacecraft from Boeing and SpaceX, they'll have to rack up hundreds of hours of practice on training simulators. This week, two of NASA's commercial crew astronauts tried out new touchscreen simulators in a Boeing facility in St. Louis, preparing to use Boeing's CST-100 Starliner crew capsule and SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule to dock with the International Space Station.
These simulators have touchscreen displays, which means they are more versatile than previous spacecraft trainers. Astronauts can run multiple simulations by just changing software and then put that same software into a bigger crew simulator, which they would use to train the whole crew for a spaceflight.
