Default LCROSS Impact coverage E-

Bummer. Reminded me of the Huygens lander coverage from ESA. I
couldn't get NASA channel coverage so I recorded ABC and CNN. Amidst
news banners proclaming "Nasa shoots missle at moon" and "Nasa bombs
the moon" The waiting was a killer and at near the moment of impact
somebody (NASA moron) switches to a "Infrared" image upon which I lost
all reference (and there was no narrative from studio (as if they
would know) or NASA) and the moment passed. I can except the lack of
visual fireworks but giving no backup visual reference or narrative of
what the video feed was showing AND switching to a totally lost
infrared display at or near impact was beyond comprehension. (Diane
Sawyer, NOT a rocket scientist, on the recording says it all when she
says "Hmmmmmmmmmmm)) NASA needs better and more in tune PR people.
**** poor on my side.............Doc
