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.

My heart sank when I learned they are running outlook.

Taking the most bloody cursed piece of software imaginable to the Moon.

What a time to be alive.

@rl_dane @beccadax Outlook: a program that crashes if you sneeze, struggles to keep the offline library properly in sync on a decent connection, and they said "send it into space".

I can't think of anything closer to Hell than being stuck in space with Outlook.

Same. That's low-key a crime against humanity.

I'd rather send email with an actual Apollo [DSKY] than use Outlook in space. Or on earth. Or anywhere else.

Actually, if forced to use Outlook, I might just see what the cold vacuum of space has to offer instead 🤣

I hated Outlook and called it pretty much the worst software ever written all the way back in 2000.

I can't imagine what flaming nonsense it is today. XD

@rl_dane @rossmadness @beccadax You'd soften your opinion on MS Outlook once you had to use MS Teams...
