Any interest in more live MER Mission Control Coverage?

Hello all,

Today I started a petition suggesting additional live coverage on NASA
TV and/or web-based streams of JPL Mission Control. The motivation for
this came from folks hanging out in the Maestro [1] IRC channel
(irc.freenode.net, #maestro).

There seemed to be a broad consensus that the live Mission Control
coverage on the night of the Opportunity landing was both compelling and
valuable programming. If you are interested in reading and possibly
signing the petition, please see:

http://www.petitiononline.com/mercov/petition.html

The petition will be forwarded to NASA/JPL after a suitable number of
signatures have been gathered.

Feel free to repost this URL and/or message in any appropriate venue...

Regards,

David
