Word Check should NEVER be the Editor

Mars orbiter in safe mode after glitch - Yahoo! News:


"The spacecraft last went into safe mode was in December when it was hit by a cosmic ray."
Okay spell check would have caught this sentence...it takes the human mind to go WHAT??? Can you spot the problem with it?

"The rovers depend on the Mars Odyssey to send data to Earth and have been using their high-gain antenna to speak directly with Earth since the problem occurred."

okay this one I question but only because I'm not sure that the proper pluralization of "antenna" is...would that be "antennas" or "antenni"?
