OMFG… I just heard Mission Control tell Artemis II literally, “Everything but email is go”

LOLSOBBING MY ASS OFF NOW

@quephird haha amazing, just found it on the broadcast https://mastodon.social/@faden/116354130816738591
@faden @quephird Until now, this is the best thing I've heard this year. Who decided to approve Microsoft software on such a critical mission???

@urien2 @faden @quephird It is just on their "personal computing devices" - which is the term for iphones and ipads, approvde for spaceflight but completely isolated from the spacecraft / actual operations.

Not mission-critical, it's just for their personal emails. And they use the same devices to take pictures, play music, watch videos, etc.

(I'm by no means defending microslop, just that it's not carelessness on nasa's part)
