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.



Well, that inspires confidence.
The Apollo 11 Guidance Computer had 4KB RAM and 72KB ROM, but the code was provably correct. How the mighty have fallen.
An astronaut’s laptop running Windows is obviously not what’s controlling the rocket.
Nah that’s the xbone controller attached to it. /s
