Wash. fight songs) and then a few minutes of ground crew - shuttle interaction. It was fun because they talked about the temperature of the German sats. computer. Don't expect to hear the astronauts on your first call. The shuttle is only in contact for about 20% of its orbit. Plus you have to catch them when they are awake! NSI runs the show like an all news station with plenty of promotion of NSI. You'll need to listen for a while to find out the next contact time, and then call back.
