Digger, it is a little off-topic, but how long is the pre-takeoff checklist for the Shuttle? I have flown Cessna 150/172 airplanes, but nothing more complicated.

You can get around these safety devices until the one day they don't prevent you from doing what they were intended to do. I know because I once had a square dance session with my Ultraglide when I started it in gear while standing to the side. Worse, it was in a park full of spectators.
Oh, swing your Harley to the right,
Grab her grips and holdon tight

One of the beauties of having a manual decompression device, a la RYCA, is that the starting drill begins with manually lifting the exhaust valve for a rev or so, just to get the motor spinning over before it starts. The thing will NOT run with the exhaust valve lifted. If it was in gear, and you tried to start the bike, you'd feel the bike move a little as the starter tried to move the piston, the rest of the bike, and your fat ass all at the same time. Not much would happen other than a slight lurch and an expletive.
That said, I don't depend on that. As the last step prior to pushing down on the decompression lever and hitting the starter button, I move the bike forward or back a few inches just to feel that it is not in gear.

Ehhh kinda... That's like saying that one of features of the Model T was you couldn't accidentally start it while sitting in the seat.

My Kawasaki and my Yamaha are so wired that they will start with the clutch released if they are in Neutral, kickstand up or down. They do have clutch switches and will not start with the clutch released if they are in gear. I prefer that arrangement to Suzuki's. Both, like the Suzuki, kill the engine if the bike is shifted into gear with the sidestand down (or if the sidestand is put down while they are in gear).
The advantage of the clutch interlock is what I take advantage of when push starting.
Hit the start button to activate the decomp and let out the clutch as soon as it starts spinning. this will deactivate the starter w/o having to worry about getting your thumb off the button in a hurry.

Lot of folks used lots of different checklists during the last few hours before a launch.
Mine was not too bad, but still longer than anything I'd ever used on the 40+ different aircraft I've flown over the years.
One tricky part was getting the three APUs started soon enough to prevent a launch abort (not a trivial procedure, btw, involving multiple switches and timing).....just a
little
pressure there, with the whole world watching!
