>Artemis II astronauts contact mission control to complain about Outlook

We have truly peaked as a species when even around the Moon, the common heritage of all humankind, Microsoft still causes problems

At hundreds of kilometres above the Earth, all our problems, like war, poverty, and hunger… Must look so small.

Except for the fact that there is Outlook (classic) and Outlook (new) and neither of them work. That problem is still close by.

It is honestly low-key cool that mission control can remote desktop into a computer that is orbiting the Moon

Yes, cool, but even more cool IMNSHO is that I'm pretty sure we were able to do the yesteryear equivalent of this with voyager and modify the live code while it was still running…

Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the USS Enterprise.

Except you cannot watch them because the SharePoint hosting them doesn’t work.

@yassie_j I’m picturing first contact. “In the mic on? Can you hear me? Sorry. I was muted.”

@yassie_j I don't know how out of all the depressing things I've had to reckon with today, this is the most depressing

Maybe it's a straw on camel's back thing, maybe it's just Microsoft being inescapable

@yassie_j remembering that the Saturn V and Apollo vehicles, and the space shuttle, were designed and developed before Microsoft and Google took over…now has me very worried for the well-being and safety of the astronauts 😅

@yassie_j my hot take is that when you're not on planet earth, it's ok to not check your email

@[email protected] When I saw a microsoft product as a kneeboard I knew it would cause issues.

Also the lock code was 93930, because for some reason it needed one?
