'From Ellipses to Gravity Assists' Webcast Presentation

Bottomquark writes "Tonight NASA scientist Charley Kohlhase, who has led trip-planning efforts for NASA missions to most of the planets in the solar system, will give a live webcast presentation called 'From Ellipses to Gravity Assists'. He'll explain how to choose the best routes for getting to destinations such as Mercury, Mars and Saturn, and describe how spacecraft can use the gravity of one planet to gain a "slingshot" boost toward a more distant destination. The 90 minute presentation takes place February 13, 2001 4:30-6:00 PM (PST) (24:30 GMT - 02:00 GMT), and will be broacast through LiveOntheNet.com (free registration required)."

Is this recorded?

Will this presentation be available afterwards? I won't be out of work here until around 6PM (PST), so I won't be able to watch it. Does LiveOnTheNet.com record these for later viewings?

Yup, shore is.
If you go to the address and click on archives you'll see the previous three shows in the series (this is the fourth). The show that's on tonight will probably be added in the next few days - luckly enough for those of us in Ireland(GMT) and elsewhere who have to get up at six tomorrow.
Mind you, I expected more interest from the ubergeeks here on slashdot. I don't have anything to do with space, but I'll be glued to my computer monitor watching this. Or aren't propulsion/navigation dynamics considered geeky enough anymore?
