Dear LFMers...or those of use who can not be at PlanetFest,
When I received Theresa's message with the schedule of the Mars Pathfinder
coverage over NASA TV, I knew I wanted to "make it happen" so I could be
witness to all that was happening!
So I decided to make sure my home computer had CU installed with
everything upto date. My classroom computer has everything on it because
that is where I used CUSeeMe. At home, I have not bothered with it much. I
went to the Global School house homepage http://www.gsn.org/ and
downloaded the latest version of CU from the Cornell site
http://cu-seeme.cornell.edu/
Then I went to NASA TV coverage on CU-SeeMe and made sure that these
reflectors were on my list. The US reflectors are:
NASA Lewis Research Center 139.88.27.43
NASA TV Site 129.186.112.242
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center 128.158.172.85
NASA Ames Research Center 143.232.17.132
Kent State 131.123.5.1
Northwestern Univ 129.105.3.61
Right now, if you look at NASA TV you will have shots of the space shuttle.
So if you are like me without satellite access to NASA Tv for the 4th, you
might use your home computer to tune in to all the exciting events.
