The Curiosity Crater, and I will have known it beforehand!!111..
although, good luck 😉
I wish you 100% succes!!!
I cant wait.
lol very Starship trooper esc advert there lol
Can’t wait, very excited!
I hope this goes all according to plan!
Good luck curiosity!
much luck goes to you and curiosity. Can’t wait for the moment
You are confusing artificially intelligent search heuristics, based on previous recorded history with covert operations reading your thoughts…really? You’re letting Clarkes third law get to you — “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.
It pisses me of so much that I’m not able to follow anything when it lands! I’ll be at a heavy metla festival :(. Sure the festival is going to be AMAZING but I’ve been following this since it launched!
Funny how I was 10 when watching the 1st STS1, 34 years later I get to see this…amazing.
I hope its a flawless victory, GO NASA GO!!! Whatever we get to see, I’m grateful.
This will lead to Terraforming MARS !!!!
I heard the rover is going to release an atmosphere so we can move our civilization there before Earth explodes in 20 years.
What’s Time in UTC… Please
For the worldwide viewers: scheduled to land in Gale Crater at about 05:31 UTC on August 6, 2012
Thanks
i’ll tune in for sure.. took a day off just so i can see this live! =)
If they could show this much excitemet over their other programs perhaps they could get more people excited about space and get more of a budget.
Great! I’ve been looking forward to this for months. But this clip seems to be made for people with an attention span of 2 seconds… 🙂
EPIC
And by the way: you can always use Wolfram Alpha to comfortably convert between time zones. Just head to wolframalpha (dot) com and type in “11:30 pm eastern time” to know when coverage starts for your current time zone.
Yes — it is definitely THE Most Absolutely Very Exciting & Profoundly Most Interesting Mars “soft-surface” landing missions ever since the Two heavy Viking landers succeeded to touch down in, if I can remember it correctly right now back in 1976 or ’77 — it just HAS to work out right the precise way as it has been thoroughfully planned and pre-programmed by the enormously skilled Technicians at JPL; this will be & become a firm true MILESTONE in NASA’s Planetary Space Exploration this far ever!
Thanks, @johnx4224, for the tip about time conversion using WolframAlpha!
WolframAlpha is more reliable than most time conversion sites.
I’ve been trusting their math/search results for years 🙂
oh, you know this site already! I use it quite frequently, too. it’s just a great site 🙂
so is the live streaming on the NASA site? and what time will it be in the UK?
The coverage will begin at 4:30 am and the landing will be at about 6:30 am.
Cheers.
Not at all.
Compliments for the perfect landing !!!
Great job everyone! I wish Curiosity all the best! Enjoy Mars! 🙂
tried to send you ordering info — you need to add me as a contact as you have a contact block on so I can’t send you info
