marychance Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Is anyone else sitting on the edge of their seats and going to stay up Sunday night to see if the new Mars rover, Curiosity lands safely? I wish DD were older, this is going to be a wonder space discussion opportunity. Edited August 4, 2012 by marychance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Is anyone else sitting on the edge of their seats and going to stay up Sunday night to see if the new Mars rover, Curiosity lands safely? I wish DD were older, this is going to be a wonder space discussion opportunity. Dh and I were talking about this today at dinner. Do you know who will be broadcasting live coverage? I'll stay up to watch it. I'd be up anyway. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Dh and I were talking about this today at dinner. Do you know who will be broadcasting live coverage? I'll stay up to watch it. I'd be up anyway. :) Planetfest.org There's nothing local to us, so if we stay up it'll be online. NASA has video "Seven minutes of terror" about the landing. My son's been doing some stuff about Curiosity for science lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I haven't checked it out, but there's also a free download for the XBox Kinect where you can try to land the Curiosity yourself :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be up anyway. :) We're excited. I'm hoping CNN will show it. It is at a decent hour here in the West, and I'm going to keep the kids up. My 13 year old has loved space stuff since he was little.
