I just watched one of them.  Apparently they had 3 different  
"live" programs. I watched the one where they had a young lady providing
commentary and introducing different team members of  the program.

There are a couple of things I wish they would have communicated  better.  I
liked the update of the speed or velocity of the  craft approaching the planet.
But it would have been more  interesting if they had marked the moment when the
"7 minutes of  terror" begins.  I didn't get the sense of drama and excitement 
from the high speed approach from 22km/s to 5km/s to 1km/s.

I also wondered what the heck were they spending all their time  looking at on
their screens. It would have been nice to see  those and some explanations.
Some people were flipping through  paper copies of materials in books.

What was the deal with the blue-light bars across the tops of  the benches they
were sitting behind?
