New missions and new technologies offer NASA new ways to communicate
with the public. In addition to providing press releases and press conferences,
NASA will be using the internet to share the Ares I-X story with the public.
Live coverage of the launch will be occurring throughout the day on NASA TV
<http://www.nasa.gov/ntv>
, both online and on cable television. For the latest press releases and formal
statements, interested surfers can refer to the official Ares I-X site <http://www.nasa.gov/aresIX>
.
NASA Edge <http://www.nasa.gov/nasaedge>
will have reporters interviewing spectators at the “Turn Basin” launch
viewing site here at Kennedy Space Center to capture thoughts and reactions
from people watching the launch live and in person. Those videos will appear on
the AresTV channel <http://www.youtube.com/user/AresTV>
on YouTube.
Finally, we will be updating content on the Ares I-X Facebook page. There is
plenty to do and see with Ares I-X, and NASA will be doing its best to make
this mission accessible and interactive. This will be a test not only of rocket
hardware but also of the agency’s ability to engage the public. We look forward
to sharing our story with you.

My husband and I are great supporters of NASA but are very frustrated by the lack of continuous live audio commentary on NASA TV, especially pre-, during, and post- launch events. One has no way of knowing what's going on, it's just a silent screen much of the time. We often joke that we would be glad to come down (from NC) and provide color and info, even on a volunteer basis. Surely you have a Media office that could do better job of explaining things. If not, just let us know ;-)
Best of luck always, Caroline and Greg Rockets up!
