countdown...

I was pondering the word 'countdown' the other day, and have realised that NASA have got it all wrong. What they actually do is a 'countup'. I'll explain.

The flight controller goes 'T minus 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7'. So the count is going from 'T minus 10' UP to 'T'. Its a count-up.

I dont know why they call it a countdown, its not rocket science...
