Various notes from TV Land:

From PR Newswire: CBS, which broadcasts the highest-rated and most-watched original television movies, will present a star-studded slate of movie and mini-series events during the 2002-2003 season.

Among the television movies:
XI:  RACE TO THE MOON (working title) is based on the true story of the people who were responsible for putting the first man on the Moon.  In 1960, President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to send a man to the Moon and return him safely by the end of the decade.  Between July 16 and 23, 1969, that challenge was met.  This is the story of the young NASA administrator who dealt with the astronauts, each of whom wanted to be the first to set foot on the Moon and the lead engineer who faced the enormous pressure to design and build a spacecraft that could make the journey Moon.  It is the story of the head of mission control who led the incredible journey with computers no more powerful than today's average laptop.  Finally, it is the story of the incredible astronauts themselves, who put their lives on the line betting on the technology and the individuals behind it to propel them to the Moon and into the history books on mankind's greatest adventure.  Orly Adelson ("One True Love") and Scott Immergut ("Freaky Friday") are the executive producers for Orly Adelson Productions.

From the Hollywood Reporter: ABC's midseason orders are said to include the untitled comedy from writer-producer Michael Jacobs -- a Touchstone-NBC Studios co-production -- and the Touchstone action-adventure drama "Veritas." Sources said the network also was poised to order six additional scripts for drama "Astronauts," from 20th Century Fox TV, indicating that it remains a contender for a midseason order or might be expanded into a two-hour movie/backdoor pilot.
