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.

*rigs all clocks to be fast by 320 minutes*
*thrust control fires for Earth reentry early, changing trajectory to a collision course*
