Two Emmys For NASA
NASA Wins Two Emmy Awards for Interactive Mission Coverage
“NASA’s efforts to engage a broader audience in exploration through the use of social media and online features was recognized with two Emmy Awards for interactive programming this weekend. During ceremonies held Sept. 14-15 at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences recognized NASA for its coverage of a Mars mission and the agency’s first test of a spacecraft that will help bring crewed launches to the International Space Station back to U.S. soil.”
The planetary folks always put on a good show. I’m glad NASA was able to contribute in a small way to Space-Xs success. NASA doesn’t seem to be able to do the space job themselves any longer.
One of which was shared with SpaceX for DM1 coverage, and just as on that mission, NASA avoids mentioning SpaceX in the all important opening paragraph, simply referring to it as the “agency’s first test of a spacecraft…” You have to read much further SpaceX down in the Press Release, which few are likely to do, to see it was a SpaceX spacecraft which SpaceX was test flying. I wonder why it’s so hard for NASA to give SpaceX credit for Dragon2.
