    Boldly going...

    Curiosity lands on Mars tonight, a little after 5. Lots of streams around the web... Could be a mighty expensive disappointment!

    They're adventurous capitalists, not an all powerful evil empire... why wish that had the sort of capability.

    Long story short, no, the only people worrying about that are unhinged nutters... probably the same people worried about chemtrails.

    I'm guessing you haven't been enjoying the rest of the dept checks then?

    Also, they're pretty smart guys, why shouldn't they use the right word for the situation?
