ET phone IT!
The Artemis II crew’s early tasks were disrupted by an issue with the shuttle’s Microsoft Outlook less than a day after blasting off into Earth’s orbit.
Reid Wiseman, the mission’s commander, reported the problem with the email app to the Houston-based mission control just seven hours after the rocket’s historic launch.
“I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working,” Wiseman could be heard saying over dispatch.
“If you want to remote in and check the Optimus and those two Outlooks that would be awesome,” he added.
Mission control said that they would join through the shuttle’s PCD, or their personal computing device, to patch the problem.
The PCD’s are specialized tablets the astronauts use to manage more menial tasks, like emailing clients back on Earth and parsing through mission manuals, throughout their 10-day voyage.
Wiseman was seen using one of the PCDs just before Wednesday’s takeoff, stunning eagle-eyed NASA fans who quickly made note of his now-formerly top secret passcode.

First the toilet and now the email.
This is beginning to look like a Walmart Space Shot.
Wish them all well.

I would never want Windoze on anything that involves manned flight.
A few backup Linux on a stick operating systems should be sent along.

They will just have to wait until Microslop rolls out the next emergency patch as they have been doing for months now.
In the meantime, Satya Nadella will continue to weep and moan about the millions and millions of users who refuse the embrace the AI-generated programming crap that Microslop has been churning out. And he is begging people to stop using the term "Microslop."
Microslop is committing corporate suicide as we watch.

Amazing, isn’t it, that in the 21rst century, toilets are still an Achilles’ heel...

60 years, and we haven’t perfected space toilets...
Yeah, we’re going to Mars.
Not until that’s sorted...
