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.

Why the fuck are public things that are tied to a budget always have to waste money on Microsoft software while they can just use Libre alternatives
If I understand it correctly, the ship’s built-in systems run a Linux-based RTOS, the dumbfuckery is happening on an off the shelf Surface tablet.
They’re still making Microsoft look like a million monkeys fucking a million footballs.
