Where To View the Mars Curiosity Landing

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-it-out dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In addition to the NASA mission pages here's a decent list of links showing where you can view the Mars Curiosity Landing online or at an event. Does anyone have recommendations for other sources of coverage on August 6?"

  1. Remember watching the first moon landing by klubar · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When I was fairly young, I remember being allowed to spend the night at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia by myself to watch the first moon landing live. The moon landings certainly inspired a generation of engineers and scientists. I'm not sure what the equivalent is today? (Watching Wall Street and becoming a hedge fund manager?)

    If you want to read a great book about JPL, check out "Moon Hunters: NASA's Remarkable Expeditions to the Ends of the Solar Systems". Out of print, but probably available in your library.

    You can watch it virtually using this online tool:

    Will let you visualize the Mars rendezvous and "I think" the decent.
