Getting so pumped as the time ticks down.

Amazing to see Curiosity accelerate over 1,000mph in under a few minutes all thanks to Mars saying "HEY, Get in here!" Gravity is a cool thing. :)
 
I love this youtube stream.

"I hear from reliable sources that the Earth is 6,000 years old" love how they are all in a high spirited mood.
 
ustream is slightly ahead of nasa video....same thing though. It's amazing watching the numbers go up on ustream...will probably break 100,000 by time it lands.

ha, looks to be many ustream links to this...plus NASA's website showing the same vid. Wonder how many people are staying up for this.

Should be on the main page in the tile that flips between five different things. I believe it's the second tile. You can also use the bing search on the dashboard to find it.

Thanks, I'm up! My Xbox was on so I just restarted it and it showed up with the Mars promo in one of the main windows.

This is my moon landing, haha.

Feel bad for the people watching the internet stream :( NasaTV looks great on my TV, even if it isn't in HD (only complaint with it really)

The youtube stream of the google plus hangout is way more entertaining. Plus we have Eyes of the Solar System on the PC

I'm checking Home, the Loot eod space station theater has a live NASA channel, and free decorations. The video itself is sd and sooo laggy.
 
so when do they actually start showing anything? are there going to be any cameras? or even just computer generated stuff? I don't want to watch people explaining how hard it is to land on mars for another hour and a half

Check out Eyes on the Solar System, and no we probably won't be seeing the actual landing due to the 7 minute delay and whatnot. You can check in at 10:20 PST when they start to land

Haha, I'm anticipating a lot of "That's it?!" after the landing. People are going to be so disappointed.

Don't expect anything. You might get lucky with a picture 12 hours from now or whenever the press conference is. I'm just hoping that they get a signal after it lands.
