Disappointing Headlines...

Well, at the very least, a disappointing link:

False Advertising?

(CNN) -- NASA is hours away from blasting a new telescope into space to scan the cosmos for undiscovered objects, including asteroids and comets that might threaten Earth.

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, spacecraft will employ an infrared camera to detect light- and heat-emitting objects that other orbiting telescopes, such as the Hubble, might miss.
Here I was thinking that NASA had finally grown a pair and was launching a phaser cannon into orbit to protect us from the Klingon scourge...

That is all.
