Dave. Can you pick up the newly printed AE35 board from the Utility Room and carry it to drone A13.

So not something you can do just by pressing a button and holding firm on the joystick...

point being without the groundside engineers that burn could not have been performed by eyeballing it...

stick a modern AI computer on board capable of making the calculations necessary in the time and you may have a chance, going all Bruce Willis not so much

cinematic vs hard science...

I am not argueing your point, John Glen only had the joystick in his pressure suit and he and the rest of the Mercury crew flew on the maths done by NASA's "Computers" before NASA got *their* edit first IBM.
But i will argue that AI today is nothing more than cinematic, some of it is funny just for being drivel. We went from 1903-12-17 to some seriously impressive planes in 37-38 years later in WW2, maybe the AI will be ready to drive by then
