Chris Bergin - 14/9/2007 2:20 PMIt's a little ironic that ESA's site is excellent, whereas NASA's site is, errr, not all that great (or you at least need a compass and a survival kit to find the good stuff). Yet NASA's launch coverage is excellent, while ESA's struggles.Arianespace's webcast, I agree, is superb....you could put that on a TV channel and people would watch.Frustrating today, but if there's nothing they could do, then there was nothing they could do. Technical issues happen. I'd take mission success over a webcast working, rather than the webcast working and the vehicle failing.
