(Not) Passing On Important Information

Behind the beautiful Soyuz launch: overcoming a communications emergency (Jim Oberg), SpaceReview

"So at the latest launch, it’s merely a minor embarrassment on the part of NASA official Geveden's incorrect "happy talk" commentary, since the Americans who really needed the information had gotten it-and he wasn’t on that list. Nor was it really worth bothering anyone else at the launch viewing stand, including the wife of one of the crewmen, who was at the launch."
