This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.@_thegeoff Wasn't it 18 hours in Contact? Surely some ridiculously longer time would be better? But some of the onboard electronics will be tamper proof, and if nothing else, when they return, it will get sorted out.

This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.@_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 You know the crew will be replaced by evil duplicates while on the far side, of course.
@davidbcohen Oh, all three reappearing on camera with goatees, that would be awesome.

@_thegeoff @Quantensalat I loved DangerMouse (Donnie Munro?

This is probably why I'm not allowed on the Artemis.@_thegeoff if it was me I would black out all comms for 23 extra minutes after contact should be restored. The first message would be "kick out the jamms motherfuckers".
