I am so happy to have been watching this historic event! I cannot believe that there were no network affiliates carrying the EDL live from JPL. I watched it happily on Ustream, but I'm upset about it.
I tried to check NBC up to 18 minutes prior, and they weren't even showing an olympic event. They showed some taped interview with a British rowing medalist from 20 years ago.
If the whole thing is on tape delay anyway, what is their excuse? What if I'm not someone who has a computer connected to their television and only had a TV?
Every American should have been able to see this live.
This is the greatest feat of engineering in history!!!
