The satellite that failed to reach orbit last week is being investigated by the Mishap Investigation Board (MIB).
The second news release left out the acronym and didn't capitalize the title (mishap investigation board.)
Wonder how many red faces there are at NASA and which white-shirted geek (see Apollo 13) came up with it?
