British astronaut Nicholas Patrick prepares for Nasa space launch

Final preparations are under way to launch British astronaut Nicholas Patrick and five colleagues to the International Space Station, on one of the last Nasa shuttle missions.
Nasa‘s long-haul exploration goals…
… the Nasa workforce …
… the head of Nasa
… subsequent direction for Nasa
… The head of Nasa

What. The. Hell. Is… “Nasa?” Is it perhaps something like “NASA?” If so, Nasa is to NASA what the Raf is to the RAF.

Bah.

Anyway, the best part of the article:

One sign posted by workers at an entrance to Kennedy Space Centre yesterday accused Mr Obama of betraying a campaign promise to preserve America’s space programme. “Obama lied. Nasa died,” it said.

  1. That use of “Nasa” always bugged me. Could that be where “Mod” came from: not capitalizing all the letters? Maybe they’re just saving ink, the way they do by dropping the “.” after name initials.
