Countdown to when the take off is supposed to happen sorely missing.
- Amorymeltzer 5y agoEstimated receipt of flight data is/was 6:15 EDT (10:15 UTC), which is what this livestream is for. The flight itself was scheduled to take place three hours prior at 3:30 EDT. As of this posting (roughly 6:30 EDT/10:30 UTC) they "are moments away from receiving" the data.
- Amorymeltzer 5y agoEdit around 6:55 EDT: Data received, confirmation of flight. They've got the video! Relevant spot in the stream: https://youtu.be/p1KolyCqICI?t=2265 https://youtu.be/p1KolyCqICI?t=2265
- T-A 5y agoIt's already supposed to have happened, they are waiting for the data: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/science/nasa-mars-helicopter.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/science/nasa-mars-helicop...

- hellbannedguy 5y agoA little video editing would be nice. It's almost like NASA doesn't realize many people watch these videos. I like watching behind the sceen stuff, but I also want NASA to come off in the best light. The video had a production value of a subpar PBS late night video. NASA has a duty to promote the agency too. There's a PR value to everything, especially when using public money. (I want to give NASA more funds some days. Other days, I would rather give it to Musk. I'm not sure anymore who will use the money better.)
- BigMajestic 5y agoWould you rather want these funds to be spent on PR team and video editing or on missions?
- waheoo 5y agoI'd rather NASA had the funds for a little production value. You can make the same whataboutist argument for why we shouldn't even be on Mars.
- insert_coin 5y agoRelax a little, it literally just happened, better things are coming. And don't watch the live feed if what you want is a Hollywood production.
