Agreed. I don't think they even *mentioned* the successful landing of
the Shuttle, let alone show pictures of it. I don't  remember even
seeing any mention of it in the press. I had to rely on the good old Net
for my information....

I suppose Voyager at Neptune will only get a few minutes too.

Meantime, the number of moronic "soaps" and stupid panel games shown by
Brit TV continues to increase....  :-(

Pessimistic? Me??
