Watching NASA TV - right now it's just has a documentary about the EDL sequence. No live coverage yet.

The EDL timeline graphic shows the landing at 4:53:36 pm. Column heading says "Eastern Time (Estimated)." The PAO person just corrected it, but...

Really starting to physically feel the tension now Don't know how those folks directly involved with the mission cope with this .. if it were me there, I think i'd need some valium.

NASA-TV is just showing a really cool computer simulation based on where it should be at each point. It looks live and not part of the HUD movie. Anyone know if that's available?

1 hour to cruise stage separation.
I read somewhere only 1 trench will be dug. Is this true? |
