"President Dmitry Medvedev has given orders for a full audit of the $2 billion project and is asking for those responsible for the failed mission to be named and shamed. "

To be named and shamed for the rest of your life is a too much. What's the president smoking?

Well if "Public Shaming" is a standard response to mistakes, it's not surprising that they are not attracting the best and brightest. Of, course, it still beats being sent to Siberia or summarily shot.

Russia launches a nuclear powered satellite plow.

Days later 3 satellites mysteriously take a vacation near Hawaii.

You got to wonder what virus was planted on the USB stick. :D
