The next Moon Missions.

[pioneer0333]

Will the next Moon Missions be televised live for everyone to see. Also just to kick it up, maybe some (permanent) live webcams could be set up on the Moon for everyone to tune into over the internet will generate tremendous fan fare.<br /><br /> Just an idea. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

No question about it (Unless we go totally commie). And the television/internet coverage will be far more extensive. Especially the internet where hours upon hours of live feed can be streamed. Hopefully by then, the internet vid downloads will be at video resolution of at least 640 X 480 (If thats still the standard then) and 30 frames (60 fields) per second with transmission rates high enough to accomodate that.<br /><br />It is a good idea and I recall the days when Apollo 11 landed and the live feed was from a fixed camera broadcast on all three (Yep three) networks. Coverage was much improved by the time Apollo 15 landed. Color footage, 7 hours or so of live feed and IIRC, camera footage as the rover was moving. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.
