RECENT Enterprise mission reports have gone wildly off the rails.
The Tranquility lunar landing mission failure did NOT affect the ENTERPRISE outpost deep space mission!
Once again, here is official confirmation of this fact from a representative for Celestis.com:
Good morning Kris,
The Enterprise Flight with all its honored participants is fine. All critical milestones were met and it’s on its way to heliocentric orbit.
Thank you for checking and do let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Faith Gonzalvo

I have spent at least a half hour ENDEAVORING to get the reporters to retract their erroneous interpretation of the lunar landing failure so Star Trek fans won’t be unduly upset by a loss that HAS NOT OCCURRED. The module that contains the DNA of the Roddenberrys, Nichelle Nichols, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan and other Trek notables (and hundreds of fans of the series) was off and well away before the anomaly occurred that doomed the scheduled soft lunar landing.
If you see the error being shared or promlugated further by reporters, please send them a link to this blog post OR have them contact Celestis.com for the real story.
Jeez! If this is what reporting and reporters have become in this day and age, I’m very worried about what else the American people are hearing/reading/seeing that has gone off the rails.
It’s like telephone tag! Everybody interprets the mission failure a little differently and, before you know it, half of the reporters are getting the details all wrong. I saw a correct report in one Star Trek fan publication and the very next day, the same publication (but a different reporter) gave out the misleading information that the Trek folks’ DNA were among those that the failure “lost” in space.
