Editor’s note: There is a press conference underway right now from NASA JSC regarding Expedition 16. A few minutes ago I heard several instances of NASAese – i.e. NASA people taking simple sentences and reformatting them so as to make them quasi-cryptic to people outside the agency. As is usually the case, several nouns and verbs were injured in the process.
Kirk Shireman (speaking NASAese): “… we will deconflict these two …”
English translation: “… we will resolve conflicts between these two …”
Holly Ridings: (speaking NASAese)” “… we ingressed into Node 2 …”
English translation: ” … we entered Node 2 …”
