re: (go.nasa.gov/InSightToolkit) ... The second one has a list of all the ways you can watch live.

I went to the url that's cited above but didn't see anything about ways to watch live. Did I use the right url ?

It’s amazingly difficult to hit the tiny window anytime.... the margins between crash-boom-destruction and bouncing off the (minimal) Martian atmosphere are extremely tiny.

Do they really need all those people there? All in their uniforms, headsets, terminals. To me, this looks like a geeky frat party and a massive waste of funds.

Good question! Heavier ship. Much heavier. It’s entering the atmosphere at 12,000mph and all that mass has to be brought down to 5mph at touchdown. Mars’ atmosphere is only 1% as dense as earth’s, so there isn’t much there, or wouldn’t seem to be, to slow it down. But there is enough to bring it down to about 800mph, at which time a giant supersonic parachute will open. It’s just amazing what they are trying to do.

They’re all Redskin fans. Oops, I see a couple of Steeler fans in one group.
