1292723 2012-08-04 04:48:00 I see you can also watch it on an Xbox as well. There is also a free game for the Xbox. Came out last week. You can land it. But you need a kinect to play it Speedy Gonzales (78)

That is pretty good, I like the smooth 3-D rotation capability, and the running time/distance data. It will be interesting to watch the simulation of the descent and landing sequence.

If it turns to custard, I wonder if they will show a simulated splat! :D

1292726 2012-08-06 01:08:00 Yes I wonder. Landing time about 5-30pm this afternoon. They say you can watch it live over the internet. I would also think that those who have Sky can watch it on one of the news channels like CNN.
