Before the Orion spacecraft even launched on Wednesday, NASA’s Artemis II moon mission — the first in 50 years — had already weathered a storm of complex challenges, like hydrogen and helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and technical issues with its safety system. Now in space, these four brave astronauts face their most formidable obstacle yet: Microsoft Outlook.
In the first of their 10 planned days in space, Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman was having trouble using Microsoft Outlook, so he contacted Mission Control for tech support, according to the livestream of launch communications.
