I'm interested in a desert trek to see the incoming fireball, if it can be seen from perhaps near the border. Is anyone else making such plans?

Hi Friends, I guess this is sort of "toot your own horn" time for me -- but also I believe you're all (or almost all) interested in the fascinating Genesis project. The sidebar story tells where you can watch it live. I tried as hard as I could with NASA to have a consultant, our own Patrick, go out to Dugway with me and provide commentary as it was happening, but the NASA guy refused. What makes it even more irritating is that NASA has NOT been good about contacting the local media or making things easier for us. They sent out at least one notice that we and at another Utah media outlet (maybe more than one) have not received from NASA. We only got the word second-hand from such sources as the U. of U. and Dugway, who were looking out for us. My feeling is that NASA is playing to national and international media and basically not giving a hoot about Utah. When I sent them an email asking that they specify which outlets had received a particular press release, they ignored me.
