Yeah, but the press went beyond that. 15 minutes after the accident, they are
hounding Larry Speakes about what it will mean to the entire future of the
space program. Right. RR has figured everything that quick. And they hounded
him about "what did the Prez say/feel?". Isn't that the sort of thing you
said they didn't do anymore? And the continual questions about ejection seats
were not in bad taste, just stupid. Or, asking Mr. Speakes about what is going
on, and listening to him state for the third or fourth time that all that they
knew they had gotten from TV (this was just after the incident, not more than
20 minutes, and they wanted him to explain the entire accident and wrap it
up). Ridiculous. They weren't even listening to what he was saying.
