"ISS astronauts will test the safety vest to gauge its comfort, while Italian carmaker Lamborghini has sent up samples of carbon fibre used in its sports cars to examine the effects of direct space exposure."

Translation: "Italian supercar maker Lambourghini scores marketing publicity coup with outrageous space stunt."

It's comforting to know that my Lambourghini will be safe to drive in orbit.

If you had a Lamborghini, you'd know how to spell it. Or at least how to copy the correct spelling you copy/pasted.

But yes, marketing stunt all the way.

I doubt that. I can barely spell Audi.

I copied and pasted, and most people here probably figured out what was meant. Are you a grade-school English teacher or something? An old one, since the trend now is to not correct spelling.

Maybe autistic? High-functioning autistics are good at spotting inconsequential stuff like that.

We'll be grateful for that sort of forward-thinking research when the gravity runs out.

I'm a tad autistic (so Mo claims, and she should know) so my lack of spelling skill is colliding with his compulsiveness.

Autistics unite! Not likely.

Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!

It's going to be out of this world.
