Do they mean at this very minute, or at 17:00 or 18:00, or do they expect us to believe what they literally said, that for a solid hour the shuttle is over the Pacific Ocean the whole time? P.s. this station (KGO tv, channel 7) has such crummy news that I avoid it except they have the only 5pm news so I was sort of stuck with it. (A few nights ago they said something about an elephant getting a gift from the tooth fairy. But this is SPACE so I'll drop that issue.) Is there any really good coverage of the shuttle on TV other than occasional special coverage on ABC Nightline? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
