I would suggest that NASA hire some real stickler-type English majors

these ringz, you know, and like, we sent a rocket there, so now there
are these stormz on Saturn, and we at NASA are, like, wow, this is,
like, totally awesome!") and also a PR firm to get its message of
discovery out to the public.

That's, like, all I'm sayin', ya know, dude?

My point, though, was that "havoc" has been used to refer to even the
most minor sorts of tumult - anything which causes mess, disorder, or
confusion... as caused by characters portrayed by such actresses as
Katharine Hepburn or Lucille Ball... and thus your criticism of the
NASA news release was unjustified.

The Universe is a big place, with many energetic phenomena in it. It
is indifferent to the welfare of the intelligent life that has arisen
within it; and, in most places, it can _afford_ to be so.
