There was an article in PilotMagazine not so long ago, where one of the reporters (i forget his name) flew the proper Astronaut Training Sim. Apparantly, the Astronauts follow a HUD command which takes all variables (wind speed, altitude, speed, etc) and providing the PIC follows the command, a perfet landing is assured every time.
