Off topic, but I'm curious about the lack of capitalization for "Nasa" (sic). Is this an oversight by the editor or a style guide choice? "BBC" is capitalized in another article, so presumably it's just a typo?
My guess is that it's a deliberate choice by the style guide. It's a frequent enough word to warrant its own acronym, but it's technically not a common noun, like "scuba." Hence the capitalization. Another example that springs to mind is "Covid" instead of "COVID-19."
Well that should really be CoViD-19, but only a Perl programmer would bother with that!
