@simplenomad That they would use an overly complex and hugely bloated piece of 'business' software like Outlook for communication (and thus apparently Windows as the OS) for something as critical as a *spacecraft mission* is just mind-boggling to me. 😵‍💫

@simplenomad Not to mention the obnoxious use of Roman numerals. That's an eleven on top and a two down below! It's bad enough the US is still using hillbilly measurements instead of metric, it's extra obnoxious to write numbers in an obsolete and flawed system because it looks more "epic" or something. Sad!

@simplenomad On the bright side for Microsoft, the company is now part of history 🤦 🤣

@simplenomad Am not surprised. A Microsoft product not working is an everyday thing. Microsoft seems to have lost sight of what it provides its customers. There was a time when the customer was always right. Now the corporations laugh at us, we have AI rammed down our throats and features we don't want. As part of my conscious effort to buy fewer US products, I have decided not to upgrade my desktop to their current OS. It is maybe a drop in the ocean, but it is still a drop.

@simplenomad Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders took the iconic "Earthrise" image (which features on the Artemis mission patch) in 1968. It is credited with inspiring the rise of the global environmental movement in the 1970s. In 2026, Reid Wiseman took the iconic Artemis image of Earth, which is titled "Earthset". Unknown what that image may inspire. I find that sadly ironic. (B&W image is the first pic of Earth from Moon taken by a human, Anders, 1967, shot just before "Earthrise"..)
