Happy Summer! Last month, we launched the redesign of Odyssey. We asked you to share with us your thoughts and suggestions and several of you responded. Your feedback has been integrated to make Odyssey even better. For example:

“We like the new layout and the colors! The old primetime schedule contained a bit of information about the programs to assist in selecting what to watch.” ~ Larry & Diana

This was an excellent suggestion by many of you. So, we tossed out the “new” primetime listings, and simply refreshed the look of the calendar we all know and love. Checkout page 9!

“I love reading articles about upcoming shows. I hope you can find room for more features in the future.” ~ JD

Also a popular idea…this month, we have more program information and tune-in details for you to better plan your viewing. Our team truly appreciates your very useful comments and suggestions. The goal is to provide a program guide that meets your needs as OETA supporters and your feedback is essential to making that happen.

Thank you for sharing,

“Houston, this is Apollo 10. You can tell the world we have arrived.” - Major General Thomas P Stafford, Oklahoman and former NASA astronaut. Did you know Oklahoma is home to more astronauts than any other state? This month, OETA explores the new frontier with innovative specials that look at the history and experiences of OKLAHOMANS IN SPACE, plus new episodes of NOVA and documentaries that reveal what happens beyond our sky. Last month, I shared with you the results of a statewide survey conducted by OU Poll that revealed OETA is Oklahoma’s most watched, most trusted and most valued institution. That value was recently on display at the State Capitol for our annual event, OETA Day. I want to thank the more than 1,200 folks from across the state that showed up to celebrate with us on the 4th floor rotunda.

Because of you, the event clearly demonstrated the deep support you have for OETA and our state leaders were impressed at the level of engagement and appreciation you have for our programs and services. As we head into summer, I promise even more opportunities for you to engage with OETA at community events and through beyond the broadcast opportunities that better connect you with our content and services. I invite you to visit www.oeta.tv to view images from recent OETA events and for details on upcoming events near you. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, fun and relaxing summer,

ON THE COVER

FROM THE PRAIRIE TO THE MOON

OKLAHOMANS AND SPACE Tuesdays at 10 p.m.

OKLAHOMANS AND SPACE pres-ents the history of the space pro-gram through the stories of the Oklahomans who participated in it. Astronauts, engineers, scientists, reporters and others recall those wonderful days of adventure.

Part 1, “How it All Started,” (Tuesday June 3 at 10 p.m.) looks at the days before Sputnik to the Tulsa Peaceful Uses of Space Conference in May 1961, including discussions by U.S. Senator Robert S. Kerr, NASA Ad-ministrator James Webb, Eisenhow-er Advisor Bryce Harlow, Kerr Press Secretary John Martin Meek, Senate Space Committee Clerk Carter Brad-ley, Tulsa’s Harold Stuart and JFK.In Part 2, “Research and Develop-

ment,” (Tuesday June 10 at 10 p.m.) Shawnee’s Leroy Gordon Cooper discusses his Mercury and Gemini flights along with Oklahoma en-gineers hard at work to develop America’s spacecraft. As the space program begins to grow and pick up momentum, Oklahomans and Oklahoma businesses are doing their part to move the program along.

Weatherford’s Thomas P. Stafford discusses his Gemini 6 and 9 flights, as well as his Apollo 10 trip in Part 3, “To the Moon,” (Tuesday June 17 at 10 p.m.). Each of these missions are critical to the success of President Kennedy’s challenge for America to land a man on the moon by the

end of the 1960s. Gemini 6 must prove rendezvous in space is pos-sible, Gemini 9 must show what we need to do to be successful in our EVA activities, and Apollo 10 must lay out and follow the path while preparing the way for Apollo 11 and the first moon landing two months later.

OKLAHOMANS AND SPACE contin-ues with Parts 4 - 7 next month.

For a complete schedule of June space-related programs, check out Pages 8-9.

This June, discover Oklahoma’s impact on space exploration and meet the astronauts, engineers, and scientists whose discoveries paved the way to the moon. NASA footage and photos along with recently re-discovered film help bring the stories of these brave adventurers to life.

JOHN GLENN: A LIFE OF SERVICE captures the pivotal events in John Glenn’s life: his humble beginnings in Ohio, his enlistment following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, his 122 combat missions, his envelope-pushing exploits as a Na-val test pilot and transition to astronaut. Thrilling NASA archival footage helps chronicle Glenn’s his-toric orbits around the Earth on February 20, 1962. As a fitting coda to a life spent dedicated to serving his country, it concludes with Glenn’s record-set-ting space flight in 1998 at age 77.

Wednesday June 11 at 10 p.m.

A LIFE OF SERVICE From Depression-era Ohio farm to Space to the U.S. Senate; explore the life of John Glenn.

HAWKING tracks the physicist’s life story, told largely in his own words. It includes dramatic accounts of his life from childhood through univer-sity; intimate footage of Hawking today, including his home routine and his work life at the Univer-sity of Cambridge; archival footage; and candid comments from family members, friends and colleagues. Computer-generated imagery illustrates some of Hawking’s remarkable discoveries, such as the nature of black holes and the so-called “Big Bang” theory on the origins of the universe.

HAWKINGWednesday June 18 at 9 p.m.

NOVA GOES TO SPACENOVA: EARTH FROM SPACE (Wednesday June 11 at 8 p.m.) is a groundbreaking two-hour special that re-veals a spectacular space-based vision of our planet.Produced in extensive consultation with NASA scien-tists, NOVA takes data from earth-observing satellites and transforms it into dazzling visual sequences, each one exposing the intricate and surprising web of forces that sustains life on earth. Viewers witness how dust blown from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon; how a vast submarine “waterfall” off Antarctica helps drive ocean currents around the world; and how the Sun’s heating up of the southern Atlantic gives birth to a colossally powerful hurricane. From the micro-scopic world of water molecules vaporizing over the ocean to the magnetic field that is bigger than Earth itself, the show reveals the astonishing beauty and complexity of our dynamic planet.

Between the blue sky above us and the infinite black-ness of space lies a frontier full of enigmas that scien-tists have only just begun to investigate. NOVA: AT THE EDGE OF SPACE (Wednesday June 18 at 8 p.m.) takes viewers on a spectacular exploration to probe the earth-space boundary zone, home to some of nature’s most puzzling and alluring phenomena: the shimmering aurora, streaking meteors, and fleeting flashes that shoot upwards from thunderclouds, known as sprites. NOVA hunts for sprites and finally succeed in snaring them in 3D video, gaining vital clues to unravel their mystery. NOVA also combines advanced video technology with stunning sequences shot from the International Space Station.

MEET DR. HAWKING Trace Stephen Hawking’s great discoveries and his rise to fame and superstardom.

Mickey Edwards was a Republican in a solidly Democratic state. The son of European immigrants, he grew up in Oklahoma City and majored in journalism at the University of Oklahoma. After graduating from law school he became a founder of the modern American conservative movement and one of the nation’s leading young conservative voices. Drawn to politics by Barry Goldwater, Ed-wards ran for Congress, and won. He was the only Republican member of the Oklahoma Congressio-nal delegation, and worked to get Ronald Reagan elected president. Edwards was on-track to become the second Oklahoman chosen Speaker of the U.S House of Representatives when a crushing primary defeat ended his political career. Edwards reinvent-ed himself and pursued a different type of public service as a college professor, author, domestic and foreign policy advisor, and sought-after speaker. He ran a political leadership program for elected officials and is a popular columnist and political commentator.

GALLERY PROFILES NATIVE AMERICAN ARTISTSGALLERY Paul Hacker: Winds of Creativity & Allan Houser: Apache Legacy premieres Thursday June 12 at 7 p.m. Native Oklahoman Paul Hacker has a knack for handcraft-ed creations. Hacker is an award-winning Choctaw and Cherokee Indian artist. He focuses his talents on historical pottery, flutes, custom knives, parfleche (bags made of tough rawhide), and ledger art. His ledger art pieces are drawn and painted on accounting ledger book pages that were commonly used by Plains tribes of the past. His flutes make music reminiscent of native flutes from the 1880’s. Allan Houser is a Chiricahua Apache sculptor, painter, and book illustrator born in Oklahoma. His work is on display in galleries throughout the World including: The Smithsonian Museum of Art, The National Museum of the American Indian, and the Oklahoma State Capitol. Though Houser passed away in 1994, his work and his legacy live on. Take a journey with Gallery to see historic footage and exclusive interviews from people who knew the man himself.

HALIFAX RETURNS LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX shows love is time-less. Season 2 begins Sunday June 29 at 7 p.m.

LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX tells the story of love struck septuage-narians Alan and Celia who re-discover their love for each other later in life — 60 years, in fact, af-ter they first met. The six-part se-ries returns as the couple contin-ues to negotiate family baggage to plan a life together. Having come so close to losing each other for-ever thanks to Alan’s near fatal heart attack, he and Celia decide to have a romantic secret wed-ding ASAP. But how will their

respective daughters react? The uptight Caroline and rebellious Gillian are discovering they ac-tually quite like each other, how-ever, a secret could jeopardize the soon-to-be stepsisters’ budding friendship.

As secrets from the past come tumbling out and family mem-bers adjust to changing relation-ships, can Alan and Celia find the long-awaited happiness they deserve?

A Privacy Expert’s 3 Tips to Protect Yourself OnlineThe technology we’ve come to love is fast becoming one of our worst enemies and you need to protect yourself as a result. Privacy expert and reporter Julia Angwin has three tips for protecting your privacy online. BETTER PASSWORDS - Everyone needs better passwords. The most popular password continues to be 123456; the next most popular is “password.” It’s time for all of us to realize even if you have nothing to hide, you really don’t want hackers breaking into your account. DISABLE TRACKING - Unless you love being tracked by all these online advertisements that follow you around and collect information about your browsing habits, sign up for a software program that is good at blocking these. RETHINK SEARCH PROVIDERS - I felt very good switching off Google search, which tracks my history and stores it forever. These logs could be incredibly revealing since they would show everything I’m thinking about: the plans I’m making, the places I’m going.
