NASA’s Artemis II mission to fly around the far side of the Moon
On Thursday, during Artemis II’s trip to the Moon, Commander Reid Wiseman encountered a technical problem that some of us on Earth can relate to: Microsoft Outlook wasn’t working. In a conversation captured in NASA’s Artemis livestream and shared on Bluesky, Wiseman reported to Mission Control: “I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither of them are working. »
To resolve the problem, Mission Control had to remotely access Wiseman’s personal computing device (PCD), a Microsoft Surface Pro. At a press conference Thursday, Artemis flight director Judd Frieling said NASA had fixed the problem, saying, “It’s not uncommon. We have this on the station all the time.
