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.

@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?

@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.
