[net.space] dullness reason for media coverage

katic@sri-unix (11/22/82)

In my opinion, NASA is making a deliberate effoer to make
the space exploration dull--with good reason.  Do you want 
to hear it over our local tv station each time an airliner
takes off from the local airport?  In the same manner, NASA
would like the exploration of space to become a commonplace
exent that is not noticed for any special reason.

Although I wouldn't want to hear everytime a 747 takes off from SFO,
it might be interesting to hear every time an Orion P3 takes off from
Moffet field with new interesting scientific experiments on board.
Likewise I'd like to hear how the STS-5 experiments went, especially
the metal foam!! Anybody hear even one word about it since the launch
two weeks or so ago?
