Bonjour,

Did my taxes today. 168 crypto transactions, $600 in capital gains, might be time to just wrap this whole thing up.

Anyway, we had a fun livestream this week. Give it a listen below.

ily,

We're absolutely buzzing to have Vercel, the agentic infrastructure company, as this quarter's partner for Too Online. You'll be hearing about some cool projects their customers are building, new features they are shipping, and how to bring your ideas out of the gc and into the world with v0. But first, they've got a demo day coming up showcasing 39 startups that have been building alongside the Vercel team for the last 6 weeks. Think: cool builds, good people, and happy hour energy, exactly the kind of room you want to be in.

On Wednesday, April 1st, a crew of four astronauts took off from Kennedy Space Center in NASA's Artemis II for a trip to the moon.

This 10-day trip is a significant mission for a few reasons. First, not since Apollo 17 in 1972, over 50 years ago, have humans left Earth’s orbit. Second, the crew includes the first woman, Christina Koch, and the first Black astronaut, Victor Glover, to travel to the Moon. Third, it will be the farthest humans have ever traveled in space. Lastly, the hardware being tested in this spacecraft is paving the way for Artemis III, which aims to once again land humans on the Moon’s surface.

The liftoff on Wednesday went off without any issues, and yesterday they successfully broke through Earth's orbit, which is a critical part of the journey. In the next few days we should expect the lunar flyby, and then they'll return home, shooting to land back on Earth on April 10th.

Leading up to the mission, there were several concerns about what could go fatally wrong, from trajectory and launch failure to radiation poisoning to the upcoming splashdown. But the issues that have ensued are giving more comedy of errors than a fatal flaw.

Just moments after lift-off, someone clogged the toilet. Shortly after that, the astronauts reported an inability to access their email, a situation I've never seen yet have heard several times from my most unemployed friend.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

The team of four reported that they couldn’t get their Microsoft Outlook to work. The internet responded, even NASA can’t figure Outlook out, and also, wait, what?

i'm so sorry we've sent these souls to the moon and they're using outlook?

To which I thought, imagine being a wage cuck on the Artemis II spacecraft.

All in all, the issues reported thus far seem more like camaraderie-building than anything else. We love to see it and will be keeping our eyes on the timeline for updates.
