It's a massively oversized, unpowered glider. A flying brick, in fact. But, a rocket?

My father in law is an educated man. He has a BSEE and an MBA. He ought to know better. He called up earlier to check and see if Critter "is upset by this rocket business."

Argh.

I don't mind so much hearing people say it blew up, rather than broke up. Cause frankly, it sounds like NASA still doesn't understand what happened.

But, calling the shuttle a rocket?

Grr..
