The landing for the rover on Mars should be happening around 1:30am, give or take a few minutes or an hour. There's coverage (that I know) via XBL NASA TV and NASA.com and you can check out this nifty thing as Curiosity gets closer to Mars. Hopefully it will land safely.

I was looking around on NASA's website a few minutes ago and couldn't find the UStream link, so I had to google it. Would've helped if I knew it was called UStream though, might have been able to use Ctrl+F. Oh well.

I'm excited for it. I'd like for it to discover something BIG.

I am looking forward to this landing. It's one of the most elaborate landing procedures I can think of. I can't wait to see what kind of neat data it is able to send back :)

Ooh ^_^

I'm trying to watch it, but it seems to be impossible to install Java to my Firefox. It keeps telling me there was "an error" downloading it (with no other details).

Try this link. I'm having more fun reading the tweets from fellow people that I went to NASA tweet-ups with, among other people. Trying to stay awake for this. I was tired before going to work and now I'm tired after.

We hope! NASA is no longer in control and all is dark until it lands. Nerves!

Huzzah! Curiosity landed safely and out multi-billion dollar project is not a waste! :D

I literally tuned in right as they announced, "WE HAVE TOUCH DOWN!" and then there was hugging. Metric fuck tons of hugging.

like, it started ages ago. And it's STILL GOING. SO. MUCH. HUGGING.

I knew that things were going well from all the hugging and cheering ^_~

Looks like we've even got a few images. The Red Planet seems more like The Grey Planet ^_~ It would be so awesome if they found any evidence of life, even microbial.

Lol! Welp Congratulations to the Mars Curiosity Team! I am looking forward to seeing what discoveries it will find.

Also, yay for sense of humor! ;)

"Holy Shit"

^ Yeah, pretty much. It really does make a difference when you watch it. It's kinda surreal to see that kind of anticipation excitement. After all that work I might swear in excitement too.

No one was talking about this at work, but I'm not surprised by that.

Very nice to see the pictures that are coming in.

Really hope the success of the project puts NASA on a more favorable position. Their funding have been restricted more and more over the years. :(

Yes. I hope so as well. It's seems most of the knowledge gathering and education parts are just getting ravaged here in the states. Education is very important, and yet they can never get levies passed let alone support for space exploration. (Which at least get some even if it's not as much as it used to be)
