This Friday, April 29, 2011, two momentous events taking place an ocean apart will probably dominate television.
Early that morning east coast time, the world will be treated to the spectacle of the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
That afternoon, we will see the final launch of space shuttle Endeavor, commanded by Captain Mark Kelly, husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was shot in the head last January by an attempted assassin. Congresswoman Giffords is expected to attend the launching. Oh, by the way, so will President Obama.
By far the most momentous of those events will be the presence of Congresswoman Giffords at the launch of Endeavor.
My guess is that the largest TV audience will be that of the wedding.
A question for the bean counters among us: which event cost their nations the most - the wedding or the space launch?
I have no idea.
