NASA Press Release
APL press release Space.com Article Coming up... October: communications checks November: hydrazine loading and Atlas V countdown rehearsal December: integration with Atlas V January: LAUNCH! No pictures on the KSC webcams yet. But still pictures here. Is that the flight RTG attached to the spacecraft? Or just a dummy? |

Actually, the blood-chilling thing about "nucular" is how many non-Bushians pronounce it the same way -- including Tony Blair, Walter Mondale, and (as the supreme insult) Clinton's first Defense Secretary, Les Aspin. A DEFENSE SECRETARY who can't say "nuclear" is a bit much. And what the hell was Tony learning in those pricey private schools, besides a plummy accent?

A DEFENSE SECRETARY who can't say "nuclear" is a bit much. And what the hell was Tony learning in those pricey private schools, besides a plummy accent? Sadly enough, look at Webster. Pronunciations: 'nü-klE-&r, 'nyü-, ÷-ky&-l&r I don't know when it happened (post-2000 perhaps?) but nucular is apparently an approved pronunciation now. Who wants to be the first to storm Merriam Webster's HQ? |
