I was not at all pleased with the media coverage of the STS-9 mission.  I am
fortunate enough to be able to listen to the NASA audio feed being
rebroadcast on the Amateur Radio bands.  Not having to listen to the constant
babble of network news commentators when they choose to provide any coverage
at all is a major improvement.  During the launch, I just turned off the
sound on the TV...  Wait.. this isn't net.flame.  I would love to have some
cable company provide me with the the straight NASA audio/video feed, it
would be worth *money* to me.
