Humanity returns to the Moon, but Outlook still doesn't work
Even historic space missions have to deal with Windows problems
Facepalm: Even the first humans to leave Earth's orbit in more than 50 years aren't immune to the quirks of Windows software. Shortly after NASA launched the Artemis II spacecraft for its first crewed lunar mission since the 1970s, astronauts on board ran into a problem familiar to just about any office worker: they couldn't get Microsoft Outlook to start.
NASA launches Artemis II, its first crewed mission toward the Moon in decades
Historic lunar flyby will test Orion and Space Launch System in deep space
Plasma engines are emerging as the next frontier in deep-space propulsion
US researchers refine ion engines that could make chemical rockets look obsolete
The big picture: In deep-space travel, the race is no longer about who has the biggest rocket – it's about who can build the smartest plasma engine. As the competition to reach Mars intensifies, engineers in the US, Russia, and China are accelerating development of propulsion systems that trade conventional fuel for charged particles and magnetic fields.
