The stupidest thing you can do is let laymen talk on the phone, like C-Span did. They don't have space correspondents or anything, so they just opened the phone lines. People were saying the stupidest things. I tried to call in to correst things, but the lines were all busy.

That does sound rather un-smart. Letting people just call in and say stuff doesn't really help you put out good news or correct news for that matter. Like Jason said, I think they should have astronauts or at least NASA people come on that know what they are talking about.

LOl well atleast CNN has a space corespondant and he is better than alot i've seen but he is still an idiot alot of times. But atleast he somewhat knows what he is talking about which is more than i can say for many other channels.

I get sick of their space coverage at times. They try to sound like they know what they are talking about and some of the time, it comes out all wrong.....

Well the only really good coverafe with people who know what they are talking about is from NASA TV.

The NASA TV channel keeps going away and coming back. I probably should call the cable guy and ask him whats going on.

It couldn';t hurt i just wish i could get NASA Tv on my tv at home instead of having to go to the space center to watch it or watching it on the internet.

Well yeah the thing is that it used to work just fine and I never had a problem with it, but now it switches in between NASA TV and some spanish channel. We pay enough for our cable bill, I think I should get it fixed.

The same happens here inside the city. It is usually NASA TV shortly before, during, and after a mission and Spanish otherwise. Unfortuatley, I don't live in the city, I'm a block outside, so I don't get it at all except on the Internet.

The NASA Manned Spaceflight site (
spaceflight.nasa.gov) was just redone. I don't like it.
3LW is on NASA TV now. What's up with that?

What is 3 LW?

It is a singing group. 3LW stands for Three Little Women. I don't know anything they do, but I'd bet that I wouldn't listen to it.

I went to a concert once where they were there. They were the first people to perform and they weren't anything special.
