Instead of NASA trying to explain something rather simple to the public, maybe it should be the other way around...the public (and great chunks of the media), generally being a mob of ignoramuses should go back to school and learn their English. In the event that NASA then have to simplify and dumb down the language in order to get a point across, the public will know where they're coming from and realise that what they said in the first place was nothing more than the proper use of the language.
