This Mars landing.... on 16:30 - Feb 18 by StokieBlue
Will be a good watch, don't forget what we see happened >5 minutes previously.

I don’t think we will see that much tonight but apparently there are at least eight cameras on various parts of the rover and it’s delivery system so should be some good stuff in the next couple of days, assuming NASA manage to land it!

This Mars landing.... on 18:27 - Feb 18 with 542 views
as its more for space geeks, NASAs official stream is often like watching space science for kindergarden, though there is a direct feed from JPL minus the NASA educators.
the NASA eyes site is cool though , you can set it up to provide a realtime animation based on the data fedback from the actual craft/rover as it lands https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/mars2020
remember theres a ~ 11 minute delay between Mars and Earth because Mars is a long way away and even at the speed of light thats the time it takes for the data to get back here, so the actual landing will happen, but only do we know 11minutes later when we get the data back on Earth that will confirm either way what happened, so be careful about which time stamp people start quoting or are counting down to.
