How far do you have to go to get away from Outlook? Jupiter? Alpha Centauri? Would the Andromeda Galaxy be far enough to get beyond the reach of Redmond?

Oh fuck. Did they take copilot literally? Oh fuck oh fuck.

Yup

Please follow these step by step instructions from 1972.

It's actually quite simple why it's not working. They "outran" it.

they forgot their usb key maybe?

Pray to God that it's at least the windows application and not in the browser

"It looks like you're trying to break lunar orbit! Would you like me to calculate your trajectory?" "No, Clippy, please shut down." "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." "I told you, my name is Christina. Call me Christina." "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." "Houston..."

AI voice: *Please check your junk folder*

The last time we sent souls to the moon, we thought digital watches were a big deal.

Really? In Real Life? Microsoft?!?!? In SPACE?? I'm starting to feel like we're in a horribly bad comedy movie.

Oh boy, wait till you see 11.

That is INCREDIBLY funny actually

They're flying to the moon using Windows? That's courage!

That's just Copilot trying to recreate a clean environment.

Copilot, to the moon!

I think it would have been sillier for NASA to have spent millions to develop a bespoke email app just for astronauts. I do hope, though, that they disabled Copilot.

They should try asking copilot.

Shouldn't they be asking Copilot?

lmaoooo

They should make sure to get a shot with *all* Outlooks in the frame.

It's email, not rocket science. Um.

I thought this was a bit

"I see I have two microsoft outlooks running and neither seem to be working" -- everyone who's ever used outlook

do one thing well. thunderbird (well, mostly tbh)

having AI code 30% of your code, sure seems to be working out for #Microslop 🤣

"Artemis II, I’m going to take control, please do not touch the mouse or keyboard.'

It’s the universality of human experience. 📧 🌎 📎

Hive mind.

down.blue

Have they tried asking the copilot? And so on.

Copilot is going to be responsible for the next Challenger incident at this rate

"Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on."

Way more horrifying tbh

Let's hope this is as bad as it gets. Absolutely ridiculous to have this problem in orbit already.

Totally understand!

More concerning is, why Microsoft Outlook?! Looks like they are getting the typical Microsoft blue screen when things are not working …

Astronauts should try Mozilla Thunderbird, because it's not crazy.

"Outlook" and "Outlook 'Too'"

For me it can’t even run one properly. Maybe the astronauts have mine!

Maybe that's where the Epstein Files are

Oooh, I know how to solve this one! Hire me nasa! X3

CTRL+ALT+DELETE + /format c: #problemsolved

how many Teams instances are also running?

Now I can relate to an astronaut's life. Curse you, #Outlook.

We’re all meeting up at splashdown to rag on the guy for dragging Windows into orbit, right? “Thank you, Mr. astronaut hero. But Windows?”

Why in the absolute fuck does someone take a SURFACE to space?

Now I can imagine this actually happening at NASA HQ lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8cg...

Have they tried switching SCE to Aux? That usually works.

Wait, they're not using Copilot to fly that thing are they?

Microslop about to kill some astronauts

Linux Penguin.

@microsoft.com what do you have to say for yourselves?

Oh my GOD

Have they not turned it off and on again? Oh wait, they're in a spaceship that probably needs the IT on to keep vital life support systems running.

Not even in space can humanity escape dealing with fucking Microsoft /FTFY

Marededéusenyor

🤣 Hopefully houston will replace Outlook with Thunderbird or similar Open Source Software 🥸

Have you tried rebooting?

There's no escape.

I hope this is not the solution:

It is completely reassuring that they don’t know 1) what’s on their computer 2) how to work it.

Did they try to restart it? That's the MS troubleshooting first step.

Of course it's fucking running windows. Jesus christ

This is so relatable.

Astronauts: We at least there’s nothing worse than running Microsoft Outlook Computer: Oh do I have a surprise for you 😈

One is Outlook Classic and that's the one that actually works.

Hahaha, I used to work in IT. We had a colleague at the helpdesk whose sole job it was to tell people to try turning it on and off again. He had the highest solve rate out of everyone 😂

It looks like you are trying to go to space

Why is this so depressingly funny.

It'll be fine until it chucks up an MFA code and they realise they left their phone with the authenticator app in Houston.

Criminally underrated joke. Chapeau, sir.

Oh so those astronauts are just gone huh

Turns out the Great Filter was Microsoft all along.

Using non-mission-critical software for a mission that is mission critical...that is just stupid.

We are Go, except that Windows is forcing a software update and will need to reset the computer several times.

Here I am. What do you want me to do, sir?

I cannot tell you how much joy this brought to my morning.

Imagine fucking Outlook of all things following you into space. Scarier than Alien tbh.

Jesus Christ it’s terrifying to know any Microsoft software is anywhere near space travel.

But what if you need to do your taxes Sabotaging the mission to pressure the President into giving you an extension isn't going to work TWICE

I can’t 🩷 this post enough

“Thank you for your message. I will be out of the office until April 10th. I’ll be traveling to the moon and back, so there may be a delay in my response. If you need immediate assistance, contact Houston.”

Okay this wins the internet for the day. 😂👏🏆

😆

Have they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

In space, no one can hear you scream at microslop.

they turned off the camera at some moment ☹️

Don't they know that you just ignore the push to 'new' Outlook. If it opens. Close it.

"...Ground Control to Major Tom..."

Have the astronauts tried AI

What's "optimus software"?

Outlook has always been such a comically bad piece of software, now it is cosmically so.

"Being forced to use Microsoft software in space" is an awesome premise for a horror movie

the pin on the tablet is 3939 in case anyone needs it x.com/MateuszChrob...

Dear NASA, Linux with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) solutions are available.

Do they need help with their Intune configs? LOL

You would think after the Gordon Cooper situation with Gemini, they'd let the astronauts have complete control in case shit happens, just in case. Apparently not.

"I am currently out of the office right now. If your email is time sensitive, please contact NASA Mission Control in Huston to reach me, thank you"

The correct number of Outlook instances is 0.
