[FPSPACE] NASA PAO living in the past?

Just heard on NASA TV at 2:29 PM EDT (and I rewound to hear it again
'cause I was "struck"),
near the end of the description of the planned deorbit and reentry
tomorrow "the crew will begin
experiencing the Earth's atmosphere and gravity for the first time
since March 31st".

Way to cut and paste, I think, but shouldn't someone be paying a
little closer attention to what
they're putting out.  It makes me wonder how much of the other times,
velocities (with conversions
between ft/sec and mi/hr) are to be trusted.

Ah, well, I guess reentry is pretty routine, one just like another, so
why worry about it...
