StrangeQ: Shrugging Atlas: NASA must really be feeling confident about this sky crane.

Seems so. Would be a tad embarassing to have the thing crash and burn on live TV.


Soundstage footage has already been shot. So no worries.

Sylvia_Bandersnatch: It's rationally impossible for it to be broadcast 'live,' given the time lag between Mars and here. They mean they'll get it to the screen as soon as they can, which will be a dead minimum of 14 minutes after the facts on the ground (as it were).

Oh, shut up.
