Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage?

We had a Zenith console in our basement. My brother and I held up lighters to the TV screen during 'Threshold'.
