The fact that this is becoming the most known quote from that mission is amazing on several good and bad ways.

Apollo 1:

Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Roger Chaffee (presumed)

Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.

Comparing one of the worst disasters in NASA history to Micro$lop bugs is a bit silly, no?

i saw the Challenger shuttle explode in person… my elementary school used to have a recess to watch the shuttles every time they launched.
however, the idea of Windows in space is terrifying.

the idea of windows in space is terrifying.

Why would I need to watch a vast nothingness? Space windows scare me.

So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

I don't mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

It's a meme posted to a shitposting community lol

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 3 points 3 months ago

Is that what the point of the meme was? You can read it as being about how much lower the stakes are, too.

AccuWeather posted this meme?

I wonder if MS stocks dropped

[–] Shaker_dev@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

Amazing !

Get the first quote correct at least.

I feel like this is ripe for an "Autotune The News" treatment. I'm thinking Eminem's "Without Me:"

🎵

I have two Microsoft Outlooks, Outlooks
Neither of 'em works
Neither of 'em works

🎵

Using memes as ads is bullshit. Reposting them is just as bad.
