The 4 history-making Artemis II unit members are cooped up pinch each different successful a mini abstraction for 10 days. And yet nan astir uncomfortable facet of nan ngo mightiness beryllium having to woody pinch not one, but 2 instances of Microsoft Outlook.
Commander Reid Wiseman sent a literal "Houston, we person a problem" connection to ngo power successful nan early hours of Thursday. He sought tech support for net connectivity issues connected a PCD (personal computing device), which is a Microsoft Surface Pro. Before you ask, yes, Wiseman did effort turning nan instrumentality disconnected and connected again earlier requesting help, but that didn't resoluteness nan problem.
NASA detected that nan PCD was really connected a network. It asked nan commandant for support to link to nan tablet remotely truthful it could look into a problem pinch nan Optimus software. "I besides spot that I person 2 Microsoft Outlooks and neither 1 of those are working," Wiseman responded, per a clip shared by Niki Grayson connected Bluesky. "If you wanna distant successful and cheque Optimus and those 2 Outlooks, that would beryllium awesome."
I scrubbed done immoderate of NASA’s livestreamed feed of its communications pinch Orion, but didn’t perceive immoderate solution to nan problem. Perhaps tech support was looking into nan matter while nan astronauts were asleep.
Tablet problem isn't precisely nan biggest problem nan unit had to woody pinch frankincense far. The astronauts reported an rumor pinch a instrumentality successful nan toilet, which handles urine collection. Although location are contingency urinal bags connected committee Orion, nan rumor was thankfully resolved wrong a fewer hours.
Still, dealing pinch Outlook intends that nan astronauts will person nan sympathy of galore agency workers. Here's hoping they don't person to usage Teams arsenic well.
