NASA Astronauts Need an Anti-Virus Program
It may be a dubious first. NASA may be the first space agency to put a computer virus into outer space:
“A computer virus is alive and well on the International Space Station (ISS).
Nasa has confirmed that laptops carried to the ISS in July were infected with a virus known as Gammima.AG.”

The question is ‘why do the astronauts not have anti-virus software installed?’ Even if the government does not fund for things like security software, some programs are free.
It must be that not enough astronauts read PublicRadar.
