Subj: STS-61 TV
The first of 5 daily EVAs will occur shortly after midnight, Eastern
Standard Time (GMT-5), Sunday morning, 5 Dec. All four domestic networks are
apparently covering much of each spacewalk live. All of the domestic morning TV
shows have lined up either Ed Weiler or other Astrophysics luminaries to appear
after each spacewalk.
For real die-hards, the entire NASA Select broadcast schedule follows.
