The Apollo Command Module display console is a classic collection of interaction design touchpoints. Note how functional elements are grouped into zones. Controls were designed to meet military specifications and resist unintended activation by weightless astronauts floating about the Command Module.
Also worth noting is how programmers maximized limited computer processing capabilities in the late 1960's. The Noun/Verb approach in the lower central LED display area allowed astronauts to reference numbers from the display with a noun/verbal look-up table to program their desired routines.
