Ok, it's from a 'classic' movie, I know... I know it inspired Roddenberry. As classic movies go, so is 2001, A Space Odyssey. It wouldn't be proper to have HAL do an intro on the NASA site. It's a little thing, I know, but if they had to do such an intro, it should have been an actually inspiring one. One that has a little more connection with actual science and even the human condition... Uhura saying "all frequencies are now open" would have been better.

Again, it's a little thing, but it's creepy when a robot is welcoming you to "lost in space".

Thanks for reading. LOL, but not really funny.
