The Control Room, The European Space Agency       https://www.flickr.com/gp/m-j-i/6XjRpPtW70 It's empty as it's only occupied at critical mission stages such as launches, insertions into orbits, adjustments to flight paths, othe manoeuvres, re-entry phases, landings, etc.

You're right - the empty room is more evocative. Which is you?  Or are you behind the camera?

Oddly creepy - lights are on but nobody home.  As if it's organising all sorts of things by itself with no supervision...
