Jag tror att det här recension av ScifiStorm sätter det väldigt snällt, skeppet (som porträtt av Sea to Sky Studios) är en hodge-podge av både futuristisk och anakronistisk teknik, styled på 1960-talet tech men inte helt beholden till den.
Technology-wise they seem to be right as well. Using early 1960s technology as the basis, you see black and white monitors, reel video recorders with poor resolution, mechanical devices with large lighted buttons, etc. But there are refinements as well. The elevator itself appears futuristic. They have “video cartridges” which look like they could be something like USB drives (but perhaps contain recording tape similar to 8-track or the more modern DLT/LTO data formats).
And apparently while on board in the 1973 they created the Stenotab, which eventually evolves to look suspiciously like a thick iPad…presumably there are manufacturing and fabrication systems on board, but being able to advance to modern computer technology I would expect to be very difficult if not impossible. Especially without any input from Earth. Theoretically Earth can send information to Ascension, but if they were halfway to Proxima, it would take two years to reach it…so technical data (say, perhaps, for the transistor and how to fabricate it) could be sent, but conversations and advice based on current events would be impossible.
Du kanske också vill notera att rymdprogram i realtid har alltid tenderat att ligga bakom konsumenttekniken. Uppdrag planeras ofta år, om inte årtionden i förväg och det finns inget överväldigande behov av att använda den senaste tekniken när befintliga lösningar kan hittas.
