Typo? Spelling?
Apr 10, 2016 at 11:49 comment added Howard Miller The Hab instruments would have been hardened for micropressure. After all, everything in the Hab is shipped from Earth and it makes no sense to ship all that air with it. Personal equipment might not be space hardened since it's going along with the individual astronauts. Hab screens could be hermetically sealed in a nitrogen atmosphere and also use LEDs instead of LCDs for display.

Feb 25, 2016 at 15:28 comment added Chris B. Behrens Also consider that the displays in the HAB would have been exposed (to one degree or another) to the open atmosphere while the HAB was being set up. It would probably be easier to ruggedize the displays to survive than to do the setup and pressurization of the HAB without having set up the internal computer systems.

Sep 29, 2015 at 20:20 comment added Jim @Jack Thanks for adding the quotes. The one from Chap. 15 is what bothers me. I'm sitting in front of a desktop machine that has an LCD display and it seems reasonable that HAB systems would also have LCD displays.

Sep 29, 2015 at 15:03 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To Don't think it's a duplicate. The asnwer there doesn't seem to fit the HAB situation.

Added quote to show computer inside depresurized Hab wasn't destroyed.
