Any public servers for live cams? If not there ought to be since we're paying for it. Should be a blast.

 

[Professur]

Go through Space.com. They have a link to a live NASA television broadcast.

C'mon, damnit. I'm behind a proxy. What's happening?

 

[Gonz]

Radio telescopes on Earth have confirmed that the European Space Agency's Huygens probe has landed on the surface of Titan. NASA's Cassini spacecraft has turned towards Earth and will relay data received from the probe over the next few hours to the Deep Space Network. ESA scientists expect to get the first look at that data about 8:30 a.m. PST

Do you guys realize that this is the biggest moment in space exploration since Viking touched down?

Do you guys realize that this is the biggest moment in space exploration since Viking touched down?

Why yes, yes I do. Thanks for asking.

 

[Professur]

There it is, folks. Ground zero, moon base titan.

 

[chcr]

Cool! I didn't realize they had a pic up yet.

Can't wait to see some processed ones.

 

[Professur]

Damn, that looks just like one of the old viking photos, doesn't it?

 

[chcr]

Yeah, I was hoping for some liquid methane or something.

When this thread started, I thought it must be a reference to the scientist, maybe a bio special or something not Cassini...so chcr, you're not an official supergeek yet.
