I tuned in for 60 seconds, the presenter got everything wrong, and I just tuned out until liftoff.

She called the top of the ET (well, it's no longer an ET, but it's the stage that was the STS ET) the "upper stage". She said that the propellents are stored at thousands of degrees below zero. And so on. This is a NASA presenter?

You are not the target audience for this sort of presentation. Media directed at the laity is more about being directionally than quantifiably correct, and is full of metaphor and embellishment to capture the imagination rather than communicate something with precision.

People who want the actual details and numbers will read.

I firmly believe you can have both exciting, inspiring, and factually correct communication if you make that a priority.

The experience of hearing factual things presented with passion and obvious expertise is in itself inspiring. Why settle for less?
