Grayson was agog at NASA inflicting Outlook on astronauts. oI'm so sorry
we've sent these souls to the moon and they're using Outlook?o they
quipped.

The clipped NASA Artemis II stream shared above is currently still live,
and you can watch it in full here. As it is live, there is no transcript provided on the video page. So I asked Google's Gemini to find the portion
of the livestream where Outlook bugs were discussed.

Google confirmed the quote from GraysonAs clip. It credited Commander Reid Wiseman talking to Mission Control in Houston at this time. oI also see
that I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working
if you want to remote in,o said Wiseman at around 13 and a quarter hours
into the livestream. Houston agreed to remote in to take a look at the
issue.

About an hour later, the astronauts received the welcome news that Outlook
was back online. However, it would appear offline... Nice piece of
software. oFor Outlook, we were able to get it open. It will show
'offline,' which is expected,o said the Capsule Communicator at Mission Control, at around 14 hours 20 minutes into the stream.

Microsoft Outlook anomaly in space
To some readers, even choosing Outlook as a part of a spacecraftAs communications portfolio would seem to be an anomaly. However, it is a standard part of the "Commercial Off-The-Shelf" (COTS) software astronauts
use for their day-to-day operations.

To be clear, the spacecraft and primary flight systems will run on
specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained
software. COTS just complements this with a friendly layer, like Windows
and Outlook, so astronauts can check schedules, indulge in personal communications, and so on, in a familiar way.

They should have used Windows 10.

I used not expect an astronaut to use Microsoft Outlook on a spaceship!

MS Office has been a total piece of shit since it "evolved" from 2010.

Yeah, I miss the 2010 system. I had a legitimate license and
installer for the 2010 suite on my Reinstalls drive, but that drive
crashed and I didn't have another copy of it anywhere. Still trying
to find someone who can do recovery on a malfunctioning drive, as I
REALLY WANT THAT DATA BACK! I had ALL of my reinstall files on there,
a previously bulletproof Western Digital drive. Never had one fail on
me before but now.... <sigh>
