      @_thegeoff Given they had difficulities killing an errant OUtlook process on the thing and they're still a few hundred thousand km from home, I wouldn't be touching _nothing_ on that capsule.

                        @_thegeoff @Quantensalat I loved DangerMouse (Donnie Munro?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ) in the 'eighties and a line that stayed with me is;

                        Penfold: 'It may be one small step for a man, but it's a giant leap for a hamster!!'

                        i never knew (but should have guessed) there was a historical precedent🤣 🤣 🤣

                                          If I was on Artemis I'd spend the 40 minute radio blackout rigging all the clocks, logs, instrumentts etc to show that 6 hours had passed, then refuse to comment on what I'd seen on the far side.
                                          This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.

                                          @_thegeoff whereas in reality they're rigging them to show that six hours *hadn't* passed
