[i]NASA did, for a time, maintain a seven-second delay in the audio downlink. Because of the public relations problem that might accompany the slip of an astronaut's tongue, NASA elected to delay live transmission of the audio so that a ground controller could, if necessary, "bleep" inappropriate vocabulary. This is the only legitimate example of censorship by NASA of a "live" transmission. In the wake of the Apollo 1 fire NASA realized it was more important to be fully candid with the public, and so the audio delay was discontinued.[/i]
