Default Bad Astronomy at Space Center Houston

I went to Space Center Houston (the visitor's center for the Johnson Space Center) and noticed that the Bad Astronomy book was being sold there. It was displayed rather prominately.

I was there at Christmas and noticed it as well. You don't think it was the same copy do you? That's not all that encouraging.

You have to look on the copyright page. The numbers at the bottom tell you what printing it is. Right now, it's in the fifth (and final) printing, so the numbers read "10 9 8 7 6 5".
