It ain't rocket science

In a story with a post "updated 5:22 p.m. EDT, Sat April 26, 2008" about the candidates and the space race and how America is getting left behind, Mr. Tom Foreman didn't bother to double check a name and it got past his fact-checkers. It was posted Saturday, so CNN must have given their copy editors the weekend off.


It's Robert Zubrin. He's the guy who has advocated the "Mars Direct" plan and got a "cameo" in The Mars Race by Gregory Benford. Remember, it's n before g, except when the g doesn't belong there. Let's see how long it takes for CNN to fix it.
