Imagine being the farthest living thing from Earth in its entire history, and you're still cursing MS Outlook.

13:15 Artemis 3 is no longer the lunar landing mission. It has been changed to a low Earth orbit rendezvous mission. Lunar landing is now no earlier than Artemis 4.

Small correction: Artemis III is not landing on the Moon and is an orbital rendezvous test similar to Apollo 9. Artemis IV will be landing on the Moon's surface

"Even in space, Windows still kinda sucks." HA! As an IT guy, I agree and sympathize.

Outlook doesn’t work very well on Earth, either.

Artemis III isn't a lunar landing mission anymore. They revised the Artemis program late February. Artemis III is now a test mission, conducted in earth's orbit, and planned for mid 2027. Then in 2028 they've planned Artemis IV and V as lunar landing missions.

One thing that doesn't get enough attention — the heat shield investigation took nearly two years. 200 samples, 100+ tests, and they found trapped gases inside the AVCOAT material were the root cause. Instead of redesigning the shield, they scrapped the skip re-entry entirely and went with a single direct plunge. That decision alone changed the risk profile of the entire mission. Great breakdown as always, Anton.

I remember the Apollo Missions. I am living long enough to experience Artemis! So exciting.
