If you get Cable News Network on your TV, you should watch for
the coverage of the shuttle. This (Sunday) morning, they carried
the live TV from the shuttle every time it passed over the U.S.
They had it for about 15 or 20 minutes at a time. They showed
them eating a meal (breakfast or lunch?), still no coffee with
cream. On the next orbit, they were conducting some of the student
experiments.

Though they call it "live" coverage, it must go through two or maybe
three satellites before it gets to your house. The signal could be
delayed over a second.
