I agree that anomaly is one of NASA's most overused words but what do
you expect from one of the government's premier scientific agencies?
I guess they could use the scientific term "bad day" a bit more to
describe what can happen when they have too many anomalies but "bad
day" is two words and the term "bad day" understates in an informal
sort of way the less complex and easily understood scientific term
CATASTROPHE. Fortunately, the Shuttle like all good NASA space launch
vehicles has a lot of redundant components that help prevent "bad
days" from happening over and over again. I hope I am not being too
redundant in addressing your foremost concern but I would be remiss if
I did not address your concerns in a Head-On" sort of way. Frankly I
hate those Head-On commercials too--they give me a headache.

Thanks for listening and please don't slip on the dripping sarcasm.
