NASA TV sucks. Sucks hard. Real hard. new [Re: italie]
#269611 - 11/26/11 07:53 PM


So I stumble into the living room about an hour before launch and turn on NASA TV figuring that it would be nice to sit and watch from the couch with a nice cup of coffee. So I see over an hour of contributors to the project presenting at a press conference (which was great, mind you) while waiting for the launch. They keep saying, "One more question." "Ok, one more question." so I assume they're being told to stall for time.

A presenter is cut off mid-sentence and I think, "HERE WE GO!" and am literally on the edge of my seat. Screen goes to a "The following was previously recorded" text and I'm thoroughly confused. Then a placeholder; "Up next: Post Launch Conference"

W.T.F.

I jump up and get online and there are fucking TWENTY MINUTE OLD stories about the successful launch on the newsites.

WHAT. IN. THE. FUCK??!? I'll not make THAT mistake again when she lands...

The amount of human ingenuity involved in a project like this can't be measured.

Makes me want to fire up Kerbal Space Program again.
