Actually Phil didn’t make a mistake. Emily’s blog says July 7th. The MESSENGER site says June 7th.

And don’t you know astronomers don’t make mistakes? They “reformulate” data.

Matt: July 7th is tomorrow.

Phil: I think part of the reason space exploration is ’so cool’ is because its hard. And you find out cool stuff.

Actually, the site you link to says that they’re going to start monitoring recorder playback tomorrow, not July 7.
