I couldn't help but wish there was someone of NASA's calibre with respect to public outreach "handling" this. I really think they got the tone wrong -- 99% of the THOUSANDS of people watching this really just wanted to experience the adventure, warts and all. We know it's hard, we empathise. We wanted to experience the trill, terror and wonder. There really wasn't any need to clam up like they did. If only they had someone (higher profile? I really have been looking for a good feed from with ESA) who could walk around and ask for the pulse of the investigation. "We have no idea, and this is why ..." would still be fascinating. Edit: And I LOVE that NASA just has a raw feed of the images as they come down. I'm thinking of the Mars rovers here. I can't fault how those programmes are communicated.
