Good gravy! I was giving NBC at least a little credit for trying to do mediocre journalism.

I know English is not everyone’s first (or even second) language, but if your job is writing for a living in English at least get some help.

P.S. I only know one language myself and couldn’t read/write/speak/understand any other to save my soul, so I think people that can are really gifted. It’s just that NBC obviously didn’t care about this article in the least.

NBC’s AI can’t write worth a hoot:

Hundreds of works were damaged at the Louvre in Paris when a pipe burst because of flooding, the museum’s deputy general administrator said.

The flooding led to a burst pipe and affected one of the three rooms of the library in the Egyptian antiquities department, he said.

Above are paragraphs 1 and 3 from the referenced article.

A simple but logical reading of both states that “a flood occurred (first), and the flood is what caused the pipe to burst (second)”. Extremely disappointed in this level of journalistic competence.

Drive Letters are also for removable media (floppy disks, CD/DVD drives, others [magneto-optical drives, etc), not to mention network drives. Not just Fixed Disks (hard drives).

It’s just an easy way to specify one disk from another.

Sadly, very possible.

Thanks for the reminder. This will be burned in my memory for YEARS to come. Bold marketing move!

Now let me get online and short sell - NASDAQ: CPB

NASA has been doing the sterilization I listed above for decades now; it’s not new.

Can you give some examples (preferably with references) of where NASA (or ESA, etc) have avoided areas due to fear of contamination?

That’s why this is done: https://www.nasa.gov/ames/space-biosciences/planetary-protection/

I realize you were probably talking about visiting other worlds in person, but we would probably still have unmanned missions there first.

So, like the same beaver both times?
