RE: Digital TV starting

["Larry A. Lovering" <lloverin@bbnplanet.com>]

Channel 5 staged a demonstration today, in conjunction with the Harris
Corporation (maker of HDTV stuff) at the Museum of Science, with the
Discovery launch.  The program began with a HD program of Glenn's and the
Space Program's past efforts, then the launch itself.  And BTW, Discovery
lifted off late, but in textbook fashion, around 2:20 this afternoon and is
now in orbit.
