What a tremendous accomplishment for them to safely achieve orbit and for the 1st stage bullseye landing.

Branson had a different mission, suborbital flights on the cheap. Not really the same thing.

(moving a discussion on the touch screens from the GR86 2nd Gen to here).
Interesting article on how the Astronauts viewed the touchscreens and how they helped with the design. I couldn't find anything specific on the type of screens used, but I do know LCDs were used in the space shuttle. In fact, they carried the original Grid Computers on the Shuttle, if you are familar with those. OLED would seem to be a better solution though. @dragoontwo you are correct that general aviation screens, for the most part, have knobs and buttons around the bezel for most operations, in addition to touch.

This is based on two points 1) OLED has more resistance to temperature extremes than industrial LCD 2) I doubt Tesla would pay for either OLED or extreme temperature LCD in their cars for cost reasons. False assumption: LCDs could not be used in space. The type of liquid used determines the usable temperature range... there are several to choose from if you are willing to pay... but OLED is still better.

This article contains a video from the broadcast where the astronauts are using the touchscreens to make maneuvers. Obviously once in space the cabin is no longer getting bumped around. Interesting that at this point they are out of their suits and in short sleeves.
