Watching the livestream of the Artemis II launch, I just witnessed one of the astronauts type in the password on their tablet while sitting in the capsule on camera.

I wish "496 trusted partners" was a joke, but that's a suprisingly accurate number, IIRC.

@occult Ok, you‘re stuck in a tiny space tin with three other people you know very well, have trained with for years, must trust with your life - but you need a password for some tablet???

What is there to protect and against what threat?

Show threadDFYX16h ago

@jaddy @occult Against accidental inputs. When you're attached to that seat for hours or float around in micro gravity, you wouldn't want to turn on your tablet without noticing.

Us seeing the code isn't a big deal. If anyone ever gets physical access to that tablet, NASA has other problems.

Show threadZeroday Podcast (stefan)17h ago

@occult it is a 4 digit one...

If I am informed correctly:

The tablet that is used is specific for that mission and the pin is only used to prevent accidental activation.

But still:

4DIGITS!!! Clear in view!! 3939? Anybody? Could be a new number code in the nerd world

Show threadsrslypascal17h ago

@zeroday @occult

Given the suits and gloves they're wearing, the main criterion was probably "a number/pattern that's easily reachable with the right hand without having to move the arm, and that involves a repeated back and forth movement to prevent accidental activation by swiping".
