Mars InSight Landing
 

Live Coverage begins at 2pm Eastern Today. Nov 26th, 2018

I had no idea they're going to have a live feed of this. I can't wait to watch thanks!

Gonna watch it too. Thanks for heads up!

Already bookmarked. I can't wait for this. So fucking exciting.

I've been waiting for this all week. I hope we go back to the moon in 2020 too.

Here's another live feed that's active right now

It's happening
!

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

The same stream as everywhere else. Too bad there is no something like a countdown clock there. At least a rough one would be very useful.

20 mins till landing

Yeah not as well done as the Space X landings/launches

I hope there's actually video of the separation and landing and stuff

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Entry at 11:47 AM PST so.... A few minutes.

Entering now!

First pictures to come soon they say if all works well

The parachute is about to deploy!

Chute deployed!

About to land!

And we have touch down. Fucking amazing.

Congrats homos :thumbsup

First pictures after landing are here!

Not a lot of rocks there which is perfect for this mission

First pic so far :)

That was fucking awesome. And did you notice how most of the people in that control room were young 20-somethings? How fucking great they must all feel right now. Congrats Nasa and JPL!

Just utterly fucking amazing. It took them six years to travel to mars, and they had timed it down to the second.

After reading through President Trumps inspirational Thanksgiving tweets too the nation, it was great for him to follow up with praise and recognition for the team at NASA

It was a perfect propaganda storm weekend, all the stars were aligned, yet he choose hate and division above all else.

Fucking amazing!!!

Watched it earlier with my dogs. Cheered like the nerd I am.

You meant 6 months? Still their timing is amazing.

Somehow was hoping this was going to be a Trump free thread. He can fuck the fuck off, the anti-science piece of shit.

Utterly fucking amazing....

that is beautiful

Awesome!

Mars exploration never gets old. I hope they discover life, and that its Democrat, and that its anti-Trump. Maybe we can even convince Martians to absentee-ballot vote for Hillary in 2020.

We went to the Moon and found so much we never bothered going back. Mars will turn out to be the same.

Why are we spending all this money with so much wrong that really effects our daily lives? Like repairing the roads.

Because most of us are multi-dimensional human beings who think about more than one thing and have more than one need.

Also, the need for the rich to make the rest of us think there's another viable planet for life helps negate the damage they're doing to earth by giving us false hope of a new home when they destroy this one.

We?? You're American?

there is enough helium 3 on the moon to power mankind for 1000 years...when are they putting you in an old peoples home? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sadly that won't help, they have internet in those homes !

:evil-laug:evil-laug:evil-laug

I have to agree with you some what...


We found minerals on the moon that could help our planet & yet, instead of mining the moon, I suppose, which could be catastrophic, however, no, they go further...

mars...

is it going to be worth it, only time can tell :2 cents:

I hope they find aliens there because they need someone to remove the dust cap ! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So why aren't they doing it?

There may be enough, but getting it, bringing it back is so big a problem no one is doing it.

That's why you need us old ones to keep you in the real world.

did the dogs howl as well ? :helpme

impressive :thumbsup

Finding anything on Mars that will save the Earth is a waste of time. If the effort to get it, bring it back, defeats the purpose it was meant for. We learned that from the Moon landings, helium 3 is on the moon. Mining it defeats the object.

Do we have that much time to save the planet?

Why the radiator looks a bit deformed?

:thumbsup

Yes a perfect execution of the landing on Mars and you had to find something to complain about and could only find the way something looks not appealing to your sophisticated Russian tastes :1orglaugh
