Default error in Discover Magazine


I'm new to this group.
I'd like to point out an error in the January 2004 issue of Discover
Magazine (Vol, 25 No. 01) titled Columbia and the year of Flight. The
article says the last words radioed by Rick D. Husband was 'Roger, uh'
This is incorrect.

The actual words spoken were, 'Roger, uh buh'. I remember hearing these
exatct words when news media first played it after the Columbia
disater. A clip of it is available on the Net.

It looks like he said, "Roger," and then though about something for a
second during which caused him to say the next word: 'uh' or 'err'. Right
after 'uh' or 'err', we hear him say "bu..." or "buh...". Although there
is little space between the words 'uh' and 'buh' there are nevertheless
two different words. I've come across several newspapers and magazines
that have made this same mistake.

With a tragedies such as these I think it's important every tiny details
is correct.
