Space watchers enthralled by the live stream from NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft have noticed that even astronauts can have trouble with Microsoft software. BlueSkyer Niki Grayson clipped an amusing segment of the live stream, where a puzzled astronaut asks for support from Mission Control because they “have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working.”

Grayson was agog at NASA inflicting Outlook on astronauts. “I’m so sorry we’ve sent these souls to the moon and they’re using Outlook?” they quipped.

    Phenomenal. They chose the buggiest operating system for a spacecraft. Amazing.

            Aircraft is statistically the safest form of transport IIRC.

        Linux is as buggy as you want it to be. If you’re using Gentoo or Arch in production (and aren’t Valve) and are recompiling kernels cause you read a tomshardware article about a scheduler… Then yeah 😀
