NASA's attempt to gently drop a robotic dune buggy onto the surface of Mars, in search of evidence of past life, will be covered live Sunday on NASA TV, with related programming airing throughout the day. It also will be streamed online at NASA.gov on NASA's YouTube channel and in hi-def at NASA UStream.
Although the exact time of Curiosity's touchdown is still a bit up in the air, so to speak, live coverage of the landing commences Sunday night at 9.
The major broadcast networks and cable news outlets will provide coverage as breaking news throughout the day.
The Griffith Observatory will be showing the live NASA TV feed and answering questions at its Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon theater Sunday from 9 to 11 p.m. and will provide an online feed of the Curiosity landing on Livestream.Originally posted by talismanOriginally posted by AdamLXOriginally posted by BroncojohnnyOriginally posted by 80coupeOriginally posted by Rick ModenaOriginally posted by JesterComment

Aug. 5, 2012 -- Monday morning at 1:31 a.m. EDT, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory 'Curiosity' is expected to touch down on the red planet's surface. After completing a dramatic entry, decent and landing (EDL) -- nicknamed the "7 minutes of terror" -- mission scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Pasadena, Calif., are expecting to get word from the sophisticated rover. However, it's not currently known exactly what time we'll hear back from Curiosity.
That's 12:31am TX time. Take out 7 min for the landing sequence... Yeah, still not 45 min.Comment

How do they not know te exact time it will land? You would think landing in a crater it would have to be pretty exact and a few minutes in either direction could fuck up the landing?Originally posted by Cmarsh93zComment
