Ok, with stuff like this I might get enthusiastic about "humanity" going to the moon after all.

To boldly go where only two non-functional instances of Outlook and a bunch of very white guys have gone before.

I still can't find it in me to be excited about #Artemis. The fact NASA tries hard to not mention their partners (specifically ESA, European tax payers paid for key components now flying in space) isn't helping.

Love the IT issues inside the crew compartment though. I hope tomorrow they'll try double-sided printing on their HP inktjet.

Astronaut problems: "No joy seeing the device in the list of available devices when I attempt to repair it after doing the Bluetooth forget."

"Everything but email is go."

We're closer to Zefram Cochrane performing his historic flight than we are to the Apollo program. Yet we're dealing with a near parody where something basic as a simple text-sending-software is seen as "complicated technology" and taking up expensive time from spacepeoples.

(yeah yeah, I'm sure none of this is mission critical. Still, it's funny)

@Pepijn I hope they're not taking a printer to the Moon.

There's a very good reason that Canada put their name on that Space Shuttle arm and leaned into the branding.

Just watch, they'll get a printout, double sided, but flipped on then short edge. Then they'll try again and the printer will complain about being out of cyan. Even though the document is black and white.

Then some website will require location enabled, and all hell will break loose.

@Pepijn they also make it very clear that this is a USA-only show by announcing everything in three timezones, none of them UTC.

I'm kinda waiting when the #Artemis2 #Artemis scientists and news media will remind folks that the #moondust is kinda deadly (for the later landings)
The micro power is like silica glass, not good to put in the lungs

And they forgot to cross the As. Not much weight saved there (image is edited to show the As)

@Pepijn If I was on my way the moon I’d have my OOO on and absolutely would not check email.

@juliette That's because you're not made of the Right Stuff. There's no OOO in Team.
