The importance of editors

I ran across this week this article about space tourism from a publication called The Student Operated Press. Pretty harmless stuff, until you read the roster of space tourists who have flown to the ISS: Denis Titio, Mark Shattlvort, George Olsen, Anyshe Ansary, and, most recently, Charles Simony. Yeah, that’s right. One possible reason for this, ah, non-standard spelling might be that the author is Ukrainian, posing thus some translation/transliteration problems, but that’s why there are editors, right?
