I have seen copies of all these, which were directed to Education, Program and Outreach Directors at the various stations. "You can lead a horse... " We wish you luck in convincing them to redress what would otherwise be an unfortunate omission. The October 30th program is VERY good as an overview both of the NASA missions, and how PTK/LFM has been able to make them accessible to students and teachers.
