Great pic.
I've always wondered if the cockpit windows' layout was form over function. The thing would look weird with a normal windshield. I'm sure they help with the strength some, but I think he was just going for the alien spaceship look.

On a side note, I wish they'd hurry and get some bigger structures up in orbit. I want to play real zero G Ender's Game style battles on my space vacation before I get too old.
