Yes, much better than my brief, poorly spelled reports. > I believe they will have a news conference about 10:30 pm. Correct. The last I heard there was going to be a news conference at 10:30 followed by "commentary" at midnight, however, I just checked the NASA TV schedule and those events are not mentioned.

I don't know about Patrick, but I went to http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/MM_NTV_Web.html and then clicked on the link for "Watch NASA TV now". It is the NASA TV video feed on the web. I believe they will have a news conference about 10:30 pm. They are currently providing "some" audio with it. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Wiggins [mailto:paw@trilobyte.net] Sent: Sat 1/3/2004 9:52 PM To: utah astronomy listserve Cc: Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Stron signal Strong signal being received from surface!!!
