been watching the tawkin heads on CNN and I have to say, it would have
been nice if they found someone that knew what they were talking
about. "What will happen if the SM misses?" Navy Capt: "Uhh.. it'll
be like a bullet. It'll just be space junk." "Will it fall back to
earth and be a danger?" Capt: "It'll just be... uhh... spacejunk..
or.. it'll burn up. <mumbles> I think."

Geez... hope the dude doesn't give briefings like that to his
crew. "Uh,... you take off... mind the wind across the bow, um, ... go
safely and see you at tea"

Congratulations! I would not refer to that as a "lack" :-)

OBTW, regardless of what one might think of the Japanese education
