[meteorite-list] Space Shuttle's Left Wing May Have Been Hit

Hello Ron;

Thanks for the post,i  always enjoy them.But i have noticed that nasa keeps 
calling meteriods  "meteorites" when referring to a cosmic collision from 
cosmic debris upon the  shuttle or ISS.If i didn't know better i would think a 
meteroid enters out  atmosphere to become a meteor and strike the earth to become 
a meteorite and  then bounce back out and strike the shuttle or ISS to cause 
damage.( just  kidding there ron ).My question is;Doesn't nasa P.R. folks know 
the  difference?Just keep seeing it printed that way and was  curious.


Thanks for all the effort you put into your very informative  posts.
