Artemis II Astronauts Face Outlook Glitch, Seek Houston's Help in Space
•Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman encountered issues with his Microsoft Outlook email on his Personal Computing Device (PCD) seven hours into the mission.
•Wiseman reported having two non-functional Outlook applications on his PCD and requested Mission Control in Houston to remotely access and fix the problem.
•PCDs are specialized laptops or tablets running Windows, used by astronauts for tasks like email access during the 10-day lunar mission.
•This isn't the first glitch; the Orion spacecraft's Universal Waste Management System (space toilet) also experienced a fan jam before launch, preventing urine collection.
•NASA engineers resolved the toilet issue, ensuring astronauts could use it, though initially urine collection was affected.
