NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices. And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works. Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse. This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster. The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit. Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

“Dad, we can’t leave the rocket without a .5 together!!” I love these two ladies, and I’m boarding that rocket a very proud father.

Funny how Cleveland teams get covered. The Guards win, develop talent, and stay competitive, yet get treated like a bunch of bums. The Browns win nothing, live off offseason hype, and get talked about like contenders every year. I’m guilty of it at times, but it makes no sense.

Space launch Twitter is the best Twitter.

👏 indeed it was.

The final walk. Artemis II

👏👏👏

Leading off the sports talk shows in Cleveland this week should be the Guardians and Chase DeLauter’s torrid, record breaking start. But I’m sure we’re already locked into breaking down the QB situation for the millionth time.

I genuinely hate this man.

@Quaker2001 @TheAthletic Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a better product.

@TheAthletic The NBA signed TV deals worth $77 billion. They're probably doing a lot better than most people want to give them credit for

In recent years, the NBA has lost momentum and MLB has reestablished itself with rule changes to enliven the action on the diamond. But has MLB overtaken the NBA as America’s No. 2 league? We consulted a handful of subject matter experts, from sports economists to pollsters, and came up with categories to consider when comparing the leagues: ◽️ Polling ◽️ Social media ◽️ Ratings ◽️ Media rights ◽️ Revenue ◽️ Franchise valuations ◽️ Vibes Read our full breakdown of who has the upper hand in each category ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/71473…

@Monte_Colorman Mine is out of sync again. Argh.
