When NASA first started the Space Shuttle Program, everyone was excited and in awe of this complex engineering feat - just like the days of the Apollo Space Program. But now, the only converage you see on TV of a Space Shuttle flight is during the launch for a few minutes and 30 or so seconds of the landing. Why is more media coverage given to insignificant events (a cat that was pulled from a tree) than events that affect our Nation in a profound way. Is media coverage responsible for this or is it because the media knows the public is not interested in Space and hence, decides to give it very little coverage?
