The live stream of NASA's Curiosity rover landing garnered more interest than primetime Sunday television, Ustream says. A spokesperson told Mashable that 3.2 million people in total had checked the stream at some point during the landing, with a peak of 500,000 people watching at the same time. That's higher than the estimated viewing numbers for CNN during Sunday primetime, which came in at 426,000, or MSNBC, which had an audience of 365,000 viewers over age two. Ustream's peak audience was lower only than that of Fox, which had an audience of 803,000.

CNN loses to a Mars Rover. CNN is in a Death Spiral. Makes my day. How about yours?

And that many viewers for NASA Curiosity on the Internet Live stream was during a time period commencing after 11:30Pm eastern time, and the good stuff, the landing, after 1:am Eastern time.

It is nice to know that many people in this country still have a bit of the pioneering and exploration bug in them. This country was at its greatest when we were a nation of pioneers, and now that we are a nation of settlers, it's no surprise we are sliding down the slope to socialism.
