NASA's version of the "Heidi Bowl"
Amazing that the NASA TV coverage of the FIRST championship is cut at the height of the competition: the Finals. My wife was locked-in, recording the event for me when the coverage switched to a Shuttle rendevous with the Space Station. Archival footage that probably had less viewers over its life span than this event. What can FIRST do to prevent this from happening again? Can the finals be replayed on NASA TV in their entirety?
P.S. The "Heidi Bowl" was a pro football game played almost 40 years ago before the television networks routinely extended coverage beyond the allotted time slot. As I recall, there was about a minute left in the game when the network switched to show a childrens show "Heidi". The game had a spectacular finish that none of the fans saw live...
