This guy is in charge of the Discovery landing?

This is stupid, but still. Is this what the modern-day nerd looks like? That haircut is about 13 years old. I guess it would make him a hardcore nerd.

No idea about the haircut, but boy did they pick an excessively melodramatic shot to go along with the story. Hey, it’s bad weather. The astronauts get to stay up one more day. There’s no crisis here, nobody screwed up. WTF?

Was the landing postponed because that guy needed to masturbate at his desk? Twern’t the haircut that gave me pause.
