You can follow NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander tonight as it attempts to touch down on Mars. Catch the action live on NASA TV via the Internet. The coverage starts at 6 pm EST with 7:53 pm EST being the first possible time for confirmation that the Phoenix has landed. I’m quite curious to see this coverage as I still remember grainy pictures of moon landings via an old Black & White TV. It seems a little science fiction-ish that we can watch this on our 4 lb laptops at the neighborhood Starbucks while connected via Wi-Fi.
