What is wrong with this picture?
(yes, this is a real picture)

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

I approve of this spelling. Who needs an extra vowel?

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Agreed. We Americans have used the "-or" ending on our words, not that sissified "-our" crap, ever since we sent the Brits fleeing back to Britland, or whatever God-forsaken European shithole those foreigners floated in from.

Ah but Kil, does this not prove that everything NASA does is either faked in the first place, or wrong at the end?

I see a budget increase for NASA for a Nobel prize winning spell checker!

From the wiki:| Endeavour was named through a national competition involving students in elementary and secondary schools. The orbiter is named after HM Bark Endeavour, the ship commanded by 18th century explorer James Cook; the name also honored Endeavour, the Command Module of Apollo 15. This is why the name is spelled in the British English manner, rather than the American English spelling of "Endeavor." This has caused confusion, most notably when NASA themselves misspelled a sign on the launch pad in 2007 |
