Holy crap, this is fantastic. THANKS.

 

[Xeke]

We've been in contact with the Voyager probes since the late 70s.

 

[DarkLegion]

Awww yeah time to watch a nice slice of history

 

[Lasthope106]

It still about two hours away. I'm going to miss this.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Again, so excited, I currently have the control room on NASA's website and the youtuve vid up

 

[Clevinger]

This lady just said we'll get 4fps video of the landing (from a camera looking down on the bottom), if I heard her right. We won't get it right away though.

 

[cruets]

i am so excited

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Crossing my fingers.

Kind of like playing Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[DrForester]

June Lockheart is still alive?!?!

 

[owlbeak]

Kind of like playing Duke Nukem Forever.

Zing. hahaha

 

[Clevinger]

Kind of like playing Duke Nukem Forever.

lol

 

[Vilix]

Watching on XBL. All it says right now is Welcome to the mars science laboratory. Is anyone else seeing this?

Edit: now they're showing jpl mission control.

 

[Power Glove]

Yay, XBL stream started!

Watching on XBL. All it says right now is Welcome to the mars science laboratory. Is anyone else seeing this?

Yep

Edit:

Mission Control on now

 

[Slayer-33]

Amy Shira is fucking hot

 

[Hambone]

On Xbox too. That's what I'm seeing.

 

[danwarb]

2 hours to touchdown.

Xbox is showing the control room.

 

[Zaphod]

I hope I wake up tomorrow with this space truck on the ground and ready to explore.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Alright so its going to be live on TV too if you have the NASA channel

 

[calder]

The Eyes sim is the coolest thing ever.

Like all major space exploration events, and the martian landings in particular, I'm going to be really disappointed if it doesn't work. Fingers crossed!

GO SCIENCE.

 

[Vilix]

2 hours to touchdown.

Xbox is showing the control room.

What?! Some of us gotta work tomorrow.

 

[The Last Wizard]

So 1:30 est?

 

[Slayer-33]

So 1:30 est?

Time to do some Forza 4 rivals events lol.

 

[Fusion Pizza]

Go Science!

 

[AstroNut325]

Eyes on the Solar System - Check.
Live Feed site bookmarked - Check.
Cans of Coke - Check.
Terribad day at work tomorrow - Check.

I'm ready. Lets do this.

I would like to Ditto this!

 

[Pimpwerx]

So...Comcast needs account verification just to check the channel lineup for me. Why? Their shitty search function on the cable box and website won't tell me the damn channel number. Why do I pay these assholes money. Oh..that's right. They're the only cable provider in my area. BURN IN A GODDAMN FIRE, COMCAST! PEACE.

 

[kingslunk]

ALIENS LETS GOOOOOOOOOO


Seriously though pretty exciting. Space exploration is the best.

 

[Vilix]

I guess XBL is streaming the NASA channel? Makes sense.

 

[Dug]

Watching this on XBL, cool stuff.

 

[SerRodrik]

So 1:30 est?

God I hope my internet maintains. It's been off and on for the last week or two.

 

[oipic]

So, so excited about this, but equally nervous. I have every confidence in the folks responsible, however - the mind boggles at just how complex and technical this operation is.

Completely in awe of the potential achievement here - I can't get a pesky Java plug-in to operate happily on my work PC, and here is a team of folks sending a highly-advanced bit of tech kit on a 567,000km journey and (no doubt!) landing and deploying it safely and successfully.

Science is indeed awesome. Glad to have found (and read) this thread to share the occasion with you, guys.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I want to stay up since this is a very rare occasion but 1:30

 

[SniperHunter]

I want to stay up since this is a very rare occasion but 1:30

yea I am going to bed as well...way too late

 

[everyday math]

I'm so so excited for this. I hope everything goes well.

 

[-Deadpool-]

Tuning in as well, Eyes on the Solar System feed up and running at work

Excited and just as equally nervous (like most of you in here by the sounds of it). Hoping it goes to plan. Can't wait!

 

[LobLob]

Will.i.am on Nasa channel, yeah.....!

 

[faceless007]

So 1:30 est?

For once, us West Coasters aren't 3 hours behind everyone else and have to stay out of TV show threads because people are live-blogging, it means we can watch something live and still get to go to bed at a decent hour. Fuck yeah!

 

[2Crisis]

anyone watching the JPL feed? I have it muted and tabbed back to see them talking to will.i.am. wtf?!

 

[The Last Wizard]

Gonna play some MW3 and try to make it.

 

[Vilix]

will.i.am looks a little nervous.

 

[everyday math]

Why are they talking to him? lol?

 

[Cheesemeister]

anyone watching the JPL feed? I have it muted and tabbed back to see them talking to will.i.am. wtf?!

I got a feelin'... that tonight's gonna be a good, good night.

 

[LobLob]

Why are they talking to him? lol?

Because he is investing in SCIENCE and KIDS!!

 

[Vilix]

Why are they talking to him? lol?

Because science is cool.

 

[everyday math]

Because he is investing in SCIENCE and KIDS!!

Huh, nice of him.

 

[Hambone]

I won't be able to stay up and watch this, so good luck to JPL and Curiosity!

GO SCIENCE

 

[Four_Chamber]

Watching coverage on the Xbox, pretty stoked about this. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that Mass Effect has only intensified my interest in space

 

[Sax Russel]

Today I have seen:
Andy Murray utterly destroy Roger Federer in 3 sets at Wimbledon
Usain Bolt win the gold in the 100m like a BOSS
Siglemic reclaim the 120 star record in Mario 64

And now I'll see Curiosity land on Mars. Pretty amazing day.
