Houston, we have a challenge, and this presents us with the opportunity to restore this capsule to a sustainable space vehicle for our return to Earth.
This is from Four words that can make us cringe, by Christopher F. D’Elia and Gene E. Likens.

I don't agree with everything they say but I share their attitude towards the greatest of human inventions - language.
