This reminds me of when Curiosity landed years ago. It was a really cool event and I remember watching it on my Xbox. I think there was a special app to use to watch the event at NASA live. It was one of the tensest things I'd ever seen. I hope kids of all ages over the world get to experience something like this if you're interested in science.
- kkylin 8y agoI had the fortune of watching the landing broadcast live (from JPL, that is, not from Mars of course) at NASA Ames. That was really exciting, to see something like this with other people who cared just as much.
- bhrgunatha 8y agoI vividly remember a sense of total awe watching it, thinking here we are, watching a broadcast from inside the JPL - as it happens! - of a craft in a totally new, complex method of landing after travelling and being guided millions of kilometres. What struck me in particular was the sense of wonder at being able to see that first image of the wheel - transmitted across the globe live as they received it. Such a privilege and accomplishment.
- haydenchambers 8y agoA privilege for us. For my boy landing on Mars and rockets that can be reused are as normal as the bus being on time. Is it any wonder that older politicians struggle to serve young constituents?
