Hot take: The Artemis livestream is a damning indictment of modern computing devices. It seems like half the radio chatter is troubleshooting email delivery problems, confusing user interfaces, or devices not booting or connecting. Literal astronauts with years of training can’t make our stuff work.

@beccadax Also, like somebody else said, why in the name of Dr. Seuss' unmentionables would NASA allow as much as a single scrap of proprietary corporate software aboard a goddamn spaceship!?

I just don't see the an Apollo 13-style successful wrangling of an unforeseen technical space problem when Wiseman is on the horn with Microsoft tech support because an Outlook bug bricked all the onboard computers...

@jwcph It’s not like Boeing builds open source rockets.

@beccadax No, but if you're NASA you can absolutely demand that it runs your own software.

@beccadax @jwcph It's a government contract, it should be open source. — Vi
