That is unfortunate indeed. I hope there are strong responses both here and elsewhere that lead to a change of thinking.

Without knowing the underlying reasons for this decision, I don't think we should be judging it. After all, we're lucky we even saw TV footage from the moon, all of that could be regarded as a gesture of good will on the mission's behalf. Personally, though, I wasn't pleased when I found out the HDTV exclusive would go to Discovery Channel. Why have "exclusives" in the first place? Why not just show the entire world? Could the entire camera be on a profit-based reasoning, selling HDTV footage at a nice price?
