And what's with the bonehead Indian gal onboard? This flight was a multi-culti sideshow. If we're serious about space exploration let's act serious and use real pros for all flights. (Wonder how many foregn programmers NASA has on payroll).

Ok, my bad. Yes, calling her a bonehead is just not right. She did, however, make mistakes on a previous shuttle flight. Does that make her a bonehead? Prolly not.

Many astronauts have large goofs on their resume, including the ones generally held in the most reverence. Her goof gave other astronauts the opportunity for some EVA, and you can be sure they were lots happier about that than annoyed!! Making small goofs sometimes teaches how to avoid fatal goofs. In sum, the goof was no indicator of anything. And...she was not a pilot...
