Yes, certainly is. The viewing platform is the ISS.

Boooo! launch scrubbed till Saturday. Still a very neat experience watching the countdown and being able to mooch around the outside of the ISS.

danlightbulb · 27 May 2020 at 21:26

Got it working just as it was scrubbed lol.

Bugger! nvm, we can do it all again on Saturday. This is what you missed. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/633737326

I'm the boring one in the VR headset.

Thanks. Pretty cool though. Someone was talking to me so I moved somewhere else lol. Not yet brave enough to actually speak to people in VR.

If you are going to watch it in VR at sansar, and don't already have an account, it might be worth getting things set up, like your avatar, as it can take a bit of time.

Watching it on a huge screen floating in space whilst you're standing on one the solar panels of the ISS is a blast.

Twitch video doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe its only up after the event for a short time? I'd be interested in this if it doesn't clash with anything at the weekend.

I'll have to watch via YouTube then as I'm working, so can't wear a VR headset.

Toothy1911 · 30 Jul 2020 at 10:48

Sorry - I misunderstood dates. I was looking at the post above about a delay. But that was for Space-X not Perseverance.
I'm the same then, will be at work. Maybe next time!
