Can't we get a ban on UAV related news?

This represents the first documented carrier landing of this UAV. How many launchings before the first freeflight landing (retrieval?)?. Curiosity successfully dropped onto Mars, but I wouldn't like to be on the flight deck, or the lower part of the island for landing #1. The results of that will be more newsworthy than this PR piece.
