That’s right folks, NASA will showing us live video from the Phoenix Mars Lander at 6:30 pm EDT, and 3:30 pm PDT today March 28th. The link to the live streaming NASA station can be found here.
All the information you need can be found by visiting the site above, along with television channels that will be covering the event. If you want even more excitement then I recommend following the Phoenix Mars Lander on twitter. NASA also did a great job putting together a video that explains what exactly they are hoping to do. I must say it is very impressive. I won’t ruin it here, check out the video!
It’s definitely exciting and great to see that NASA is using social media to reach out to everyone. I am very curious to see the viewership stats after the broadcast, both offline and online. There is definitely a lot of online conversation taking place on twitter. Using ‘Summize” and doing a search for Mars, you can see “Mars” seems to be the topic of conversation.
I hope all of you get a chance to watch it. I would love to read some of your thoughts and comments. I should be live on twitter during the landing and hope to chat with all of you!
“I don’t think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I’m an optimist. We will reach out to the stars.”
~Stephen Hawking, interview with Daily Telegraph, 2001
