On Thursday, during Artemis II’s trip to the moon, Commander Reed Wiseman encountered a technical problem some of us on Earth can relate to: Microsoft Outlook was not working. In a conversation captured in NASA’s Artemis livestream and shared on BlueSky, Wiseman told Mission Control: “I also notice that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither of them are working.”
To deal with the problem, Mission Control had to remotely access Wiseman’s personal computing device (PCD), a Microsoft Surface Pro. During a press conference Thursday, Artemis flight director Judd Frayling said NASA has fixed the issue, “It’s not unusual. We have it on-station all the time. You know, sometimes there are problems configuring Outlook, especially when you don’t have a network that’s directly connected. And so essentially we had to reload her files on Outlook to get it to work.”
