Making Fun: Mission Control Desk

In this episode of Making Fun, Jeff High Smith makes a one-of-a-kind mission control console that closes up and works as a regular homework desk when it's not in use--which is probably not very often. The console plays space-related sounds and has many lights, knobs and switches.

I'm 30 years old, but maybe Jeff could still adopt me and make me one as well?

[WackyBroProductions]

I'm 19 and this looks fun as heck.

[BestAtNothing]

Okay, that's it. Pack your shit up and go home, other Dads. Dad of the century right here.

[kotzur]

Now make one for Kerbal Space Program.

Teacher: Why haven't you done your homework?
Boy: I was kind of busy flying to the moon and back.

[CodeMasterRapture]

I made my daughter a bed for her Barbies... now I feel like the world's worst dad...

*Me working in an office
*Boss: "Johnson, you finishing that report?"
*Me: "Yes sir"
*Pulls up control panel:
"Houston, we have a problem..."

[SamnissArandeen]

This would make a great console for KSP, especially when he's older and the two of you could make the necessary modifications together.

[BlueRieter]

This just screams Kerbal Space Program. If you could interface with that, infinite possibilities.

[nychold]

My ten year old inner child just called.  He wants one.

[nostradormouse]

I'm 46, but if you'd like to adopt me, I'd be fine with that.

[jrf]

Well my dad taught me how to build a snow fort so ha

[ScoutCrafter]

This guy is amazing! How great would this world be with more guys like him! Outstanding job!

[hardwirecars]

Pack it up other dads its game over this guy just won for years to come.

[TheDutyPaid]

If I was making this for a child of the same age, by the time I had finished he probably be in his 40's

[ukp]

I'm 52 & I want one please. :)
Love from Scotland 5*

[Project-Air]

This is a recipe for procrastination :) Great job though! Amazing work. 

[ibshortkid]

Imagine this tied into a PC as a controller for KSP.

[JessicaKStark]

Please tell me you'll make this interface with Kerbal Space Program eventually
