Boy, you got me on that one also.
Jorge seems to think this is all rational and normal somehow.
I guess after you work for NASA for enough years, just about anything and everything would seem "rational" and "normal", or at least "SNAFU". ;-)
Now, if they all standardized on "Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space" for figuring these things out, a lot of confusion could be removed between the various space centers. :-)
