No, I do understand. I still think it's a bad decision. It's not just about how critical to the mission it is. It's useful as a form of communication with family and entertainment. In that context I do think it's "important". And also in that context, I would want something reliable.

    Absolutely agree. It's still wrong that it's associated with the mission, and it's not "absolutely bonkers" to not really think about the personal email client you use.

    It's not like Outlook is their main way of communicating with mission control. If the tablet actually craps the bed, they'll just use another computer. They're nothing if not redundant. Calling a personal tablet mission critical is a false equivalence
