One reason is that NASA TV is not doing a good job making things look as interesting as they actually are.

I'm interested and following this mission live, but I got interested because of SpaceVidCast and other non-NASA media.

Incredible, I'm still amazed that there is no interest in this stuff. I love it

those aren't solar panels. Those are wings that let the spacecraft fly around like the happiest butterfly. They don't flap around in the video because the spacecraft is too shy.

Like a Mexican football caster? That would be awesome.

Agree NASA TV has the feel of public access. Space travel is so amazing, I'd like to see them get a new person in who can hype it a little bit.
