Some examples? E.R. performed an entire episode live in 1997; the camera crew caught in the background was explained away as a PBS documentary crew filming in the hospital. The same year, Ellen DeGeneres came out as a lesbian on her sitcom Ellen, and networks even distributed special glasses around the country and showed some episodes in 3D, an experiment that largely fizzled.

...Ares, with its Orion capsule sitting atop a rocket, returns NASA to the Apollo model, which went into retirement in the 1970s having never lost a capsule crew in flight. (The program did have its disasters, though: the Apollo 1 crew perished in a launch-pad fire and Apollo 13 suffered an oxygen-tank explosion and power failure on its way to the moon.)

The abort system involves three separate motors to pull the capsule away from the rocket, to provide directional control and to separate and jettison the entire launch abort system so the capsule can parachute back to Earth...
