A DECENT DESCENT


FOUND ONLINE:
 A space capsule included on a recent SpaceX launch almost survived its decent back to Earth, so The Exploration Company is deeming their mission a "partial success".

Sadly, this sentence was a "partial success." I think they wanted DESCENT, not DECENT. Descent involves something moving downwards, dropping or falling.

Still, this isn't the worst mistakes anyone has made.

ALSO FOUND ONLINE: "The Trump Administration's displacement of over 1,800 National Science Foundation employees from its headquarters with no place to go, adds insult to injury when the Administration is pushing a 55% cut to NSF's budget," Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, chimed in, also dismayed at reports of the possible luxuries that'd be installed as part of the move.

I've talked about this sort of thing many times. I think I'd write "said Sen. Maria Cantweel (D-Washington)." In another sentence, I'd say that she was unhappy with some possible luxuries.

Her committee title makes this WAY too long.
