Live Coverage of Phoenix Lander's Decent to Mars
Space Vidcast is covering The Phoenix Lander’s seven minute decent to Mars on Ustream.TV right now! You can view it below or go to Ustream’s site to chat online with others as you’re watching and post your comments. This is definitely Web 2.0 at it’s best.
Some background on the mission:
“The mission to Mars cost around 380 million dollars. The Phoenix Lander has been in transit for ten months. There hasn’t been a successful power landing on Mars since 1976. There is over a 10 minute delay in communications between us and the Phoenix Lander so the Phoenix will have landed before we even know if the decent has started!
The Phoenix Lander was sent to Mars with the intention of looking for signs of life. It is prepared to dig for ice – aka frozen water – aka signs that life was possible.”
Let’s wish them all the best.

Very cool, there are a handful of live broadcast TV/Websites that make this possible and it’s all just really awesome stuff.
Soon enough even regular blogging is going to seem so boring and lame, this is where we all need to start looking to if we’re going to survive online.
very very VERY cool. tnx Ayelet.
I missed this until now somehow. Just wanted to give you a shout out and thank you for the linkage and kind remarks. Still trying to work out our new slogan, but the current iteration seems appropriate here, “Social Media will change the world, Space Travel will save it”
[...] Blonde 2.0 also posted about the Mars Phoenix Lander, but she also linked to SpaceVidcast.com. This site offers Video Podcasts of happenings in the space field to “educate people on the value of space travel.” They also encourage people to engage through comments on the site. [...]
