Is there a town in California called Baja? Or does someone at NASA not understand that Baja California is a state in Mexico?

> Or does someone at NASA not understand that Baja California is a state in Mexico? I think they understand perfectly, and the capsule splashed down "off the coast" of "state of Mexico". No different from saying "The capsule splashed down off the coast of British Colombia" or "The capsule splashed down off the coast of Queensland". They know perfectly well what Baja California is and where it is.

    Clearly all the people complaining have never made a typo in their lives, and are unable to deal with the horrible inconvenience of having to actually deal with one!

      lol right, it's a typo, it doesn't matter, and there was already a reply 4 hours before yours that said as much, so i'm not sure what you were aiming to contribute with the reply that doesn't acknowledge that it is a typo "all the people complaining" = up to 1 person

        To be honest I didn't even seen the typo, and I genuinely thought the person was suggesting that NASA was unaware Baja California is not the US, or that somehow a US spacecraft would land anywhere other than the US.

I didn’t know what a Baja California was until I moved to California. Seems like an honest mistake. Would have been helpful if they said “en route to San diego” afterwards
