When Spellcheckers Attack

NASA upbeat over Discovery's launch. An AFP news story, which seems to have been spellchecked before being sent out, but without any human intervention:
During one of three planned spacewalks, Japanese astronaut Spicy Noggin and his US counterpart Stephen Robinson will test repair techniques adopted in the wake of the Columbia disaster.
They seem to have put out a correction shortly afterwards; the link above is the only one I could still find with the broken spelling. (For those wondering, it's meant to be "Soichi Noguchi".)
