"Commander Reid Wiseman sent a literal "Houston, we have a problem" message to mission control in the early hours of Thursday. He sought tech support for internet connectivity issues on a PCD (personal computing device), which is a Microsoft Surface Pro."
"I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working," Wiseman responded, per a clip shared by Niki Grayson on Bluesky. "If you wanna remote in and check Optimus and those two Outlooks, that would be awesome."
"Tablet trouble isn't exactly the biggest problem the crew had to deal with thus far. The astronauts reported an issue with a fan in the toilet, which handles urine collection."
"Still, dealing with Outlook means that the astronauts will have the sympathy of many office workers. Here's hoping they don't have to use Teams as well."
Commander Reid Wiseman and the Artemis II crew experienced internet connectivity issues with a Microsoft Surface Pro. Wiseman requested tech support for the device, noting problems with two instances of Microsoft Outlook. NASA confirmed the device was on a network and sought permission to connect remotely. Additionally, the crew dealt with a fan issue in the toilet, which was resolved quickly. The situation highlights the challenges of technology in space missions, drawing parallels to common office frustrations.
