If so, during the next launch, I can keep my TV volume wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy down and my radio wwwwaaaaayyyy up and be a happy puppy. :-) Yeah, I too think its really ridiculous (?sp) (silly) how much noise pollution there is blocking out the Real (Wo)Men at Nasa (as opposed to the PR people). And the graphics that are displayed are pretty silly too (like on NBC, CBS, etc. No cable tv here). Why can't they just talk about the mission? The Magellan probe was virtually unmentioned in the broadcast I watched. Sigh. BJM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bret J.
