Resistive touch screens still exist, and would probably still be preferable from a reliability point of view (I have all kinds of troubles with capacitive screens when there's sweat, humidity, low temperatures, etc)

Oddly I've found resistive touchscreens to be less reliable but anecdotes are not data so it could just be I'm unlucky.

One of the interesting things I also find is that using a touch screen on CalTrain while it bounces around is difficult, I can't imagine what it will be like to hit the correct control button on the touch screen of a rocket under boost.
