The NASA and ustream feeds are super lagged. CNN and the science channel has live coverage and better resolution.

I'm watching it on the Science channel. It's very intresting.

 

[KSRothwell]

They say in an hour, they are waiting for the dust to settle and the lander to unfold first.

Gotta love those NASA engineers! They can land a research vessel spot on at 170 million miles away but can't land a high five with each other to celebrate from a foot away!

Dude, if I had been drinking something, I would have spit it al over my lap top. That is dead on true and fucking hysterical.

I really can't get over how much Mars looks like some places in the Outback.
We really need to get our own space program going here.

But yeah, I've been checking this out every few hours.
I truly believe that near space exploration and mineral exploitation of NEOs is going to be the only solution for our resource problems... So this has me excited in the most nerdly manner possible
