i love how space travel went from Star Trek: The Next Generation to Deep Space 9 in the space of one (1) lunar mission.
Apollo program: boldly going where nobody has been before, everyone is a decorated pilot putting their lives on the line in the most advanced tech.
Artemis II: shitters broken, "I have two versions of Outlook and neither of them are working".
that 00's joke has gone from cringe OS fanboy wars to Utopia levels of uncomfortable relevance:
> Why do astronauts use Linux?
> Because you can't open windows in space.
@az it’s a lot like that. ISS switched to Linux in 2013 after their XP machines caught viruses.
Now they’re using Windows again because “most astronauts are more familiar with it”
The most highly trained profession off the planet and we’re worried about the friction of a little bit of computer-toucher training? Fuck me.
The irony is Houston is remoting in to fix it anyway because the astronauts have run out of computer skill, so familiarity doesn’t even help.
