It's the waiting and the transmission lag that drives me nuts during live NASA broadcasts. Damn the speed of light!

The Science Channel's coverage has been awsome so far, lots of interesting interviews, facts, animations and live coverage. I have one complaint. They keep sneaking in lame Billy Mays commercials!

They have an educational interaction too. That thing slowed to 5 mph, and then hit 0 velocity just above the ground while its legs extended, then touched the ground.

Im watching the live link at NASA TV.. I have it up too in another tab but there's no extras, so I'm switching over to NASA when the Science Channel announces that something interesting is going on. |

I've been fascinated by the space program since watching Gemini and Apollo missions in the 60's and 70's, but in 2008, I think $520M could buy alot of progress toward energy independence instead of ice on Mars. Still, if those solar panels open, it'll be a great achievement.
