On a light note, has anyone made any plans for 5 August? It is, after all, less than one hundred days away now, and I'm sure Mars is getting very big in the window for ol' Curiosity.
I hope they'll get a webcast going. I'll be frantically clicking on 'refresh' on here come what may!... [MOD NOTE: Topic moved to Chit Chat for obvious reasons.] |

I've got the best gig of all!
It's going to be the afternoon of Monday August 6 here and landing is set for 3:18 SCT and 3:32 ERT. I'll be hosting an event at Canberra DSN with a few hundred people watching events on NASA TV and looking out the window at the antennas providing the communication link to MSL/MRO/ODY Any locals interested in coming along are welcome. |
