On the plus side, the market for barber chairs will boom.

That set seems remarkably similar to Alien. Or even the Doom game.

That set had me thinking 2001, the man Silent Running.

At least the keys still have some feedback on the moon!

I imagine with all the dust on the moon that you'd want to have rubber domes, since there are less parts to get gunked-up. I know that air filtration is going to be very important for moon living, but I'm sure though that moon labs will still be filthy places.

I've been watching too many space programs on NatGeoHD.

If the dust is getting in, I dread to think how much air is leaking out!

No keyboards on the moon. Even the doors will be voice controlled...

With my luck my computer would turn on me within SECONDS upon arriving at the moon.

Me: Open the pod bay doors, Hal.

Hal: I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

Me: Dave? Who's Dave? Why are you calling me Dave?!?

It would go on like that until Hal decided to shut my air off.

Movie also has a awesome looking industrial laptop.

Screen caps for the backlit keyboard and the laptop:

that backlit keyboard is simply a roll up keyboard on a light table.

Wow, they didn't even do a good job of that, either. They just pulled it out of the box and right onto the light table. They didn't try to hide the controller or anything.

IIRC there was another cheap backlit lowprofile keyboard similar to the BTC 6300.
