- I'd have to agree with you that media coverage can increase interest in
- a particular topic - for instance, consider the plight of Somalia. I do
- believe that NASA has not done a good job in promoting its own interest
- in mass media lately. Our space endeavours could certainly spur the
- imagination of voters today if the media was used as a tool of
- inspiration, as it was in the '60's.
