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?

You misspelled "ZOMG."

More seriously (wait, is that even possible?), I saw some kind
of survey--I know, that's practically making it up--in which the
respondents significantly overstated NASA's budget, expressed
as a fraction of the federal budget. By about two orders of
magnitude, if I recall correctly. Some folks apparently thought
it was about a third of the federal budget.
