SpaceX Cursor in livestream

[legoclone09]

I was watching the SpaceX livestream and I saw the Windows cursor in the top right. I have a picture, it's in the top left.

Eh...

Computers have cursors?  This is unexpected and/or noteworthy?

It's the fact it was in the livestream, they all had 2 or 3 monitor setups so they shouldn't have had it there, they should have been working. Or playing KSP, both work.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but you're saying that the cursor was visible in the livestream, and it shouldn't have been because someone should have been doing work on the computer used to display the graphics for the stream?

They accidentally hit the "M" key, and then got stuck in the map view.  At least they had Kerbal Engineer installed.

Well I don't think the cursor was supposed to be there, that's all. I thought it would be on one of the computers at mission control but I doubt that now.

Well, the multicast-screens at my work sometimes display the entire gui!
And the occasional BSOD.

How jarring when I want to view the weather report...

It's not a pointer. It's something over the Earth, protecting us. All hail the mighty white arrow thingy!

Actually it's not a Windows cursor, it's a Linux cursor. SpaceX doesn't use Windows. Seriously.

Makes sense, it does look like a Linux one. Also SpaceX using linux makes total sense, I can just see it.

Personally, I worship the hand cursor. I won't abide by your heresy.
