  While watching NASA select, I have noticed that the change of shift
briefings are often cancelled due to lack of press interest.  Sometimes
it is frustrating, since there are times when it would be nice to have
a review of what has happened, and some of the reasons for some of the
things, but probably in a little more techinical detail than the press
media would want.

  It would be nice if viewers could call in to the number given with
their questions to be presented at the briefing.  It would be even
nicer if it were an 800 number, and would help show that people do
actually watch NASA select during missions, and that there is interest.

p.s. so, why did they manually deploy the antenna arm after it was
     freed, instead of continuing with the powered deploy?
