Meegat continues to view technology with awe, even when she's had a pretty good look at how it works-- and as other people have said, it's a bit odd that nobody in her society thought of flicking a switch to see what happens.
And it's puzzled me when they've said it - flipping switches at random is begging for something to go wrong. These people didn't even have electricity; why wouldn't they view something as complex as a rocket launching with awe? I'm relatively certain that I couldn't walk into a deserted mission control and figure out how to launch a Saturn V without any instructions.
