Spaceflight. Scandal. Mostly scandal.

IT folks are unavailable to talk through the bugs

Station #12 has a guidance bug. IT has an out-of-office reply. Both have been going for nine days.

Status: Open. Priority: Low. Assigned to: Nobody.

Ticket #4012 was filed on the 25th. It says the guidance computer reboots every time someone opens the fridge in the break room. It is still open.

The IT team is at a conference. The conference is about communication. They have not responded to any communication.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? It does that on its own. That is the problem.

Until somebody fixes the bug, the new guidance upgrade is off the mission. The fridge has been unplugged. Everyone is eating warm yogurt.
