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.

That was quick! 😀

I bet you anything it’s an issue with Microsoft’s ridiculously wonky login setup these days for Office, so you’re not far off with that.

No problem. Just have the astronauts contact the off shore help desk. They’ll have the problem fixed as soon as the astronauts tell them how to fix it.
AI has created this vision for space travel toilets:
Got into an exchange with a well known FR troll a few weeks ago about Microsoft mismanagement. In less than a year, they've driven the stock down from $550 a share to the current $373.46.
C-suite needs to be cleaned out, and the board held personally liable for the fiasco that's ongoing.
Replace Microsoft Outlook with Thunderbird. Thunderbird is a Mozilla based (Firefox) email program, uses all the same settings and even runs on Windows.
Better yet, bypass the whole Windows operating system and sideload Linuxmint. I did a dualboot on my husband’s Windows—trying to wean him off of Microsoft—so it boots either a brand new Linux or your old Windows, so you can have both.
My guess is a MS built in spyware geolocation 'feature'. License only good in North America and someone just did a click through on the licensing terms?
I find this hard to believe. The astronauts that walked the moon in 1969 never had trouble with email.
When you open Adobe Photoshop Elements, a splash screen appears briefly which has a list of everybody that worked on the project. Every single name is Indian. I don't know about other Adobe products, but it wouldn't surprise me.
My only question is whether they are all H1B hires, or they actually work from India.
I'll give Adobe credit for honesty, though, most companies won't admit to this.
They can always just open the window up and pee out (except for the lady).
My thought as well. They had it programmed to be on at start up, and it screws it up every time. They are lucky if the Artemis doesn’t miss the moon and goes to Mars by mistake.
