A reminder to those of you on the net who do not have the special radio
equipment to take advantage of the rebroadcast shuttle communications: The
National Space Institute operates a "Dial-a-Shuttle" news service 24 hours a
day during shuttle flights. During the past couple days of confusion on the
Solar Max capture problems, it has been the best source of information I could
find on up-to-the minute events. Dial-a-Shuttle plays information segments on
the mission and its hardware, press conferences (live), and carries *all*
spacecraft communications. The telephone number is 900-410-6272. Ma Bell
charges 50 cents for the first minute, 35 cents for each additional minute
you listen. As is typical of the overall space funding situation, NSI receives
none of these funds.
When CBS ignores shuttle flights, ABC's Jules Bergman asks his obvious
questions, and NBC doesn't ask what you want - try Dial-a-Shuttle.
