I find the SpaceX reporters to be much more informative (and much less irritating) that the standard network morons. These are (mostly or all, AFAIK) actual SpaceX employees, with both genuine passion for the program and knowledge of the mission.
And if they are a little less polished than many TV journalists, they make up for it in enthusiasm, as well as just dorky adorableness.
- generj 10y agoOh, I don't disagree with you. There is a depth of genuine emotion, and they inform without dumbing down what is actually going on. By watching several hosted webcasts, I've learned esoteric details I wouldn't have otherwise. Sometimes it is a little too unpolished for me though - the guy running his pencil down a chart of mission activities was pretty weird. The whole time I was thinking: is the timeline for the next few activities not on your laptop screen?

The problem with most journalists is they don't really know anything, so they just repeat what people tell them. These folks have a huge advantage in that they're only covering a single subject, and they understand that subject very well.
