I'm in Saudi at the mo with crap internet, hope the connection holds out enough for me to watch it..

 

[DampDog]

Can't wait to see what happens after the "7 mins of Hell" and we find out if it's made it or not!

The way this year is stacking up. I'm guessing a touchdown speed of around 18,000mph, give or take!! Joking aside, I hope we are looking forwards to years if not decades of "Mars discoveries" to come.

Is the James Webb Space Telescope, the next biggy?

 

[Malevolence]

Live now, and as it's NASA it's only 720p. ******* joke.

I'll be watching the Everyday Astronaut stream.

 

[Delvis]

I'll be watching the Everyday Astronaut stream.

Link? Any better?

Also, exact timeline?

Edit: 8:55pm is the start of the main sequence or?

 

[andy_mk3]

Link? Any better?

Also, exact timeline?

20:55 is the approx landing time.

 

[Delvis]

20:55 is the approx landing time.

Is that link going to be any better do you think?

So what time is best to actually start watching? From 8:30? Or before do you think?

 

[BUDFORCE]

I'm watching the everyday astronaut version for a bit, the NASA one is pretty cheesy.

I have watch Scott Manley and play Kerbal space program so I'm basically an expert on astrophysics and space travel

 

[Malevolence]

Yeah, switched to Everyday Astronaut, the NASA stream was not only 720p but it was a dumbed down cheesefest.

Yeah around 8:30 is where it's going to really be kicking off

I always prefer Tim (Everyday Astronaut's) streams. He's great at explaining what's going on.

Ah k, cheers, just don't want to miss anything

I got that one open in a second browser.

So another 10 year wait for the samples!

 

[Delvis]

Haha yeah

I found the live button on that link finally

 

[SPG]

Yep 10 years, Always good to have something to look forward to.

(American presenters are just horrible though)

 

[Malevolence]

Does anyone else's stream (Everyday Astronaut) keep dropping out?

 

[SPG]

Yes, its a little patchy.

 

[deuse]

Does anyone else's stream (Everyday Astronaut) keep dropping out?

He is behind.
I went back to NASA.

 

[darkgen]

fingers, thumbs, toes, arms, legs, everything crossed!

 

[Feek]

I see the simulation is a bit ahead of the NASA feed.

 

[Delvis]

I see the simulation is a bit ahead of the NASA feed.

Yeah, bit annoying

It's so they can cut the feed when the alien picks the camera up
