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.

JUST IN: Artemis II crew experiences issues with Microsoft Outlook on their way to the Moon, asks ground crew for assistance.

@CrazyVibes_1 Would the store of stopped him from over paying if it was over priced at the register? NO, and this commonly happens.

At a Walmart store in Mexico, a customer found a 70-inch TV priced at 547 Mexican pesos (approximately $30).
The customer bought it, and when he tried to leave with him, it turned out that the price was mismarked and the employees prevented him from leaving. The incident ended in a fight, the arrival of the police and the arrest of the customer.
It seems to me that in this case the customer was right and should have been compensated by the store.

@sometimesjoey @ZEROitami Sports events too, it was a way to free up a hand.

@ZEROitami It’s a delicious & efficient way to snack. It’s what blue collar guys did & still do to get a drink & snack while they drove for work, one hand on the wheel one hand to drink & eat peanuts. It started in the South in the 1920’s amongst farmers & laborers while driving or on break

@nikitabier The fast forward and rewind methods suck on videos. We also want to be able to listen to speeches and podcasts without the screen on. Minimizing the video so I can keep scrolling and posting on X is nice.

@UltimateTrad8r @ThinkAppraiser Extending the wall could be cheap too.

@dawsmik @ThinkAppraiser Even if its a rental, its cheap and easy to extend the wall.

@ThinkAppraiser Rental, smaller fridge. My house, extend the wall.

Heading to the hospital early tomorrow morning for my 3rd cancer-related surgery. Surgery is at 6:30 AM, and while my surgeon has explained the risks, there are always potential complications afterward. I’m feeling anxious and can’t sleep, so I humbly ask for your prayers for safe travels, healing, and peace.
Thank you for standing with us.

@RoweTandi @Brink_Thinker I hope it does catch on; he convinced me, I'll do it too.
English

@Brink_Thinker My son saw this on a video years ago so this is how he crosses the street or parking lots. He just says “they do this in Japan”. Doesn’t matter how many times I explain we are in Oklahoma and NOT Japan he just says “it’ll catch on”. He’s 7.
