- Folks this is no joke. On Friday the 24th I was watching the NASA
- channel on cable TV to see how the experiments and crew were doing.
- The men onboard needed to send instructions to the experiments in
- the cargo bay and were using a laptop to do it. As some of you may
- have heard, there was a "computer problem" onboard as reported by
- CNN. The exchange of information between the crew and the Johnson
- Space Center (JSC) went something like this:
-
- Crew: I can't get a DOS prompt
- JSC: Press C: enter
- Crew: No response
- Crew: I am not familiar with this, but am with DOS
- JSC: What screen are you looking at?
- Crew: Program Manager, Accessories and other icons
- JSC: Double click the negative sign in the upper right
- of the Window
- Crew: That's the problem, it didn't load the mouse
- JSC: Press Alt-Esc
- Crew: Negative.
- JSC: Stand by, we will replicate the problem down here
- Crew: Roger.
- There was a long pause.
- JSC: Double click the DOS icon
- Crew: I don't have a mouse
- JSC: Go to backup
-
- Folks, he had WINDOWS 95 loaded! Hahahahahahahahahahahahah!!
-
- Windows 95 doesn't work on Earth, so what the hell made them think
- it would work in space ?
-
- Do you have a Windows 95 problem? Go ask Gates or Nasa.
-
- Ya gotta luv it. Ha ha ha ha.
