My favorite bit of conversation from our once-in-a-blue-moon group meeting this afternoon (paraphrased):
Ray: “Doug, tell us about exploration stuff.”
Doug: “Well, there’s a document I’m reviewing that’s horribly, horribly written. At one point they refer to the crew as ‘animate cargo.'”
Sarah: “Animate cargo??”
Doug: “Yeah.”
George: “What’s wrong with the word ‘crew?'”
Doug: “No idea. Animate cargo. I told them even Ham the Chimp was worthy of more than that.”
