NASA doesn't cover any non-NASA launches that I'm aware of. They don't even cover commercial launches from Cape Canaveral. They have been broadcasting manned ISS Soyuz launches from Baikonur, though.

exactly, seen one of those, and hence hoped they might be broadening their horizons--some finesse between being budget strapped, wanting to promote rocketry, and wasting money on who will watch stuff? Personally, I think the amt of nickles to at least attend/tape all significant commercial and significant SoundingR's is money well spent. They can always sell a DVD entitled when Balls is not enuf...
