I swear the coffee machine in the staff room behind the operating theatres in a nearby hospital where I was dong some filming was more complicated than that spacecraft...it was certainly more complicated to operate than any of the procedures being done in the operating theatre next door.

Nothing strange in that. Medical equipment has to be reasonably simple to operate for safety reasons, there is no such requirement for a coffee machine.

"Warum es einfach machen, wenn man es so schön komplizieren kann" as it said on a placard in a german drawing office.
