Letting lay people dock space ships with your actual UI is just bragging ;-)
But Kudos, maybe it's my KSP experience, but that interface is really great and understandable.

Lost count of how many maneuvers I screwed up due to mode errors. Not being in docking mode or being in the wrong docking mode. For some reason switching from the galaxy map back to the ship would turn off docking mode every time. I'd try to decelerate my ship only to end up rolling out of control and by the time I manage to stabilize it's too late. Best case scenario I'd simply overshoot my space station and have to waste propellant maneuvering back to it. Worst case scenario I smash right into it at ludicrous speeds.
This is all in standard mode (staging mode), not docking mode. I've never seen the point of docking mode mixing around my controls. I often don't want my main engines to shut off for docking, and I do want to have manual roll control to align the attitudes.
OTOH, a Soyuz does this with brains similar to an MSX computer while the SpaceX's screen overlay icons takes up more memory than all computers aboard a Soyuz put together.
