It's supposed to help it go more mainstream I guess, so understood, but maybe stretching it a little there. The music was the worst part in my opinion :) I liked it overall though. Is this something meant to be picked up by other news sources and maybe they'd play clips of it on TV? That would work instead of having their own in-house tech or space contributor to cover this stuff.
Miles and his team worked very hard on this, I'm sure, but it struck me as much ado about little. If the audience is the spacer community, then a weekly summary of events most are aware of doesn't deliver anything of value. Insight and analysis were never Miles' strong suit, and the home camcorder imagery (especially of a Mike Griffin that looked like he just woke up)slightly amateurish. Still, would I continue to watch? Sure, whenever I can. He is to be commended in any case for trying to keep space activities on the front burner. CNN sure doesn't.

I like Miles O'Brien but that show seemed to try WAYYY too hard at humor. I thought it would do well as a kids show.
More hard news and better written comedy (if any at all)
