Today's Webtip: Curiosity

this rover has it. Let's hope it fares better than the cat did.

The Curiosity Rover is set to touch down on Mars early in the morning on the 6th of August. Curiosity is a mobile science laboratory the size of a small car which will spend the next two years exploring the surface of mars.

You can watch the landing online at the NASA mission site: www.nasa.gov or you can check out some other broadcasts and events which might provide some more interesting perspectives.

www.spacevidcast.com will be streaming, occasionally providing live commentary and apparently hosting a potentially lively live chat.

twit.tv will be hosting a show featuring info and presentations from expert speakers

Google+ users can hangout at a special hangout plus.google.com

And anyone who just doesn't want to wait, and would prefer their info in a more interactive package can check out the JPL Eyes on the Solar System page. It promises a simulated ride on the rovers decent vehicle or a live view during the actual landing eyes.nasa.gov

Or you can just watch this:
